A local would say...

Since 1923, third-generation chef Yui keeps sushi old-school — marinating fish in salt and vinegar the way it was done before refrigeration.

While sushi has moved in the direction of faster and fresher, Kizushi, in business since 1923, is keeping it old-school. Third-generation chef Yui Ryuichi uses traditional techniques like marinating fish in salt or vinegar — from back when sushi was more about preservation than instant gratification. The shop occupies a lovely old timber-frame house. Reserve for dinner and taste sushi the way it was meant to be: aged, nuanced, and deeply complex.
