TOKYO– Satoru Araki is meticulously slicing a major lower of chutoro (medium fatty tuna) into morsels as he serves up a course of nigirizushi (hand-pressed sushi) within the backstreets of the upmarket Tokyo suburb of Hiroo.
A former skilled boxer, Araki opened Sushi Satoru in July 2022 — a easy counter of six seats that has already generated a buzz in Tokyo’s sushi scene. On the counter is a duplicate of The Michelin Information Tokyo 2024, by which Sushi Satoru is talked about for the primary time. It has but to win a Michelin star, however the reference has attracted curiosity from overseas guests to Japan, which Araki desires to encourage.
