What Is “Edomae Sushi”?

Kojiro’s sushi is described as “Edomae sushi,” and since we weren’t totally sure what that meant, we looked into its characteristics〜😃

• Creative preparation methods
  Edomae sushi began with techniques used in the days before refrigeration, such as curing fish with vinegar or salt, or simmering it, to help it keep longer.
• The toppings are seasoned beforehand
  The toppings are served with the ideal seasoning already applied, such as soy sauce, salt, or sauce, so you don’t add soy sauce yourself. The shari, or vinegared rice, has a light and subtle flavor.
• Focus on red-fleshed fish
  It often centers on red-fleshed fish such as tuna, with extra preparation added to the toppings to bring out their flavor.
• Aged sushi style
  “Aged sushi,” where fish is rested to draw out its umami, is also one of the techniques used in Edomae sushi, designed to bring out the fish’s flavor as much as possible.
