Kioicho Mitani
Kioicho Mitani is a reservation-difficult establishment that developed from the Yotsuya celebrated restaurant "Sushi Mitani" and opened in Kioicho in 2016. General manager Hiroyuki Kono leads the restaurant, inheriting the philosophy and techniques of Yasuhiko Mitani. The sushi, which fuses original ideas with reliable techniques, is highly acclaimed both domestically and internationally.
The Restaurant's Dedication and Philosophy
The greatest characteristic of Kono's work is that, while respecting traditional Edo-style sushi techniques, he pursues original expressions unbound by conventional concepts. Attention to detail in everything from ingredient selection to preparation and serving methods, with ingenuity applied so that each piece can be savored in its optimal condition.
His dedication to tuna is widely known, with delicate work that discerns the state while drawing out the charm of each part. Additionally, he emphasizes the overall flow of the cuisine, not just sushi, establishing a style that completes a single course by combining appetizers and nigiri.
Furthermore, it is known as a pioneering presence that actively incorporated sushi and wine pairing.
The Allure of a Celebrated Restaurant
The interior is a refined, calm space, and the meticulous hospitality made possible by the limited number of seats is a charm. At the counter, you can enjoy the artisan's techniques up close.
