Sushi Yano is also a sushi restaurant named after the chef, "Sushi" is the Japanese pronunciation of sushi, and "Yano" is the chef's last name. The restaurant opened in 2015 and was first known for having a chef who once made sushi for the emperor, but the publicity was a bit exaggerated.
The much-said hype about Sushi Yano is also reflected in the so-called "air sushi". Almost all food advertorials that mention Sushi Yano will have descriptions such as "Air sushi is the most famous here", "Air contains air in rice grains", and "Air sushi is the best sushi standard in Japan". However, there is no such thing as "air sushi" in Japan, and the correct explanation of the relationship between air and sushi is that sushi that is always delicious should have an air gap between the rice grains, giving it a fluffy feel, and at the same time requiring the rice balls to remain unbroken when eaten with hands or chopsticks. Sushi Yano's sushi is still the most common type of nigiri in Japanese restaurants, but the special feature may be that the bar is made of highly stable South African teak king, and the kneaded sushi is placed directly on the yoko instead of a plate.
It is worth mentioning that Chef Yano has a professional puffer fish cooking license, and although the fugu that can be purchased in Japan is basically non-toxic, it is still worth looking forward to a chef with a professional puffer fish cooking license in the production of fugu dishes. If you want to eat fugu cuisine at Sushi Yano, you need to make a reservation three days in advance.
Sushi Yano's set menu is priced at 1,995 yuan, and the explanation given by the restaurant is that the dishes in the store are based on the chef's 1995 custom menu for the emperor, and the price of 1995 yuan is to commemorate the year.
Sushi Yano's recommended sake brand is Kuromatsu Shirakukaroku, which can be used for up to 20,000 yuan a piece. This is indeed a top-notch Japanese sake, with a small sales volume but a very good reputation. However, considering the high price of alcohol, diners are advised to do so when choosing.
Sushi Yano, a seemingly "low-key" Japanese restaurant, is located on the street of Yongfu Road, and the store and surrounding environment are quite unremarkable, and it is difficult for passers-by to see that this is a high-end restaurant.
