Yahata Zushi opened its doors more than150 years ago and to this day still commands a strong following for its ultra high quality sushi at reasonable prices so I wanted to share this Tokyo hidden secret gem with all of you. This 6th generation family owned sushi restaurant is located in Tokyo's Waseda area and we follow a day in the life of these sushi chefs preparing their shop from the morning. The shop goes to extra lengths to use a chemical-free organic Koshihikari rice sourced directory from their grandparents’ farm in Ibaraki prefecture. It’s not often that a Sushi shop will produce their own rice, but this family places great emphasis on continuing the traditions of their ancestors. They courageously navigated their business through a 150 years of history, enduring both ups and downs. One of the significant challenges was during the war, when sushi was banned altogether by the Japanese government as food supplies were scarce. However, in the post war area, despite the trying time, Yasui san’s father, the 4th generation, invented the now-beloved kappa maki sushi, cucumber rolls as an alternative to fish, which would ultimately spread in popularity throughout the world.
