The Origins of Edo-Style Sushi and Misuji’s Tradition
Continuing the Tradition from Misuji
Misuji is a modern sushi restaurant that carries on the traditions of Misuji, a renowned sushi establishment founded in 1855. Misuji opened its doors in 1855 in Kobikicho, now known as East Ginza. Nigiri sushi, initially known as “Nigiri-Zuke,” became a sensation in Edo, marking the flourishing of sushi culture. The sankin-kotai system promoted cultural exchange and regional specialties, leading to the creation of new culinary traditions. Domain chef Koike Matasaburo introduced a novel style of sushi, combining vinegar-seasoned fish with small mounds of rice, which eventually gained popularity among commoners.
The History of Sushi Culture and Misuji
Misuji honors its founder’s spirit of “offering beautiful and delicious sushi for generations to come.” The restaurant perfected the foundational nigiri technique, “Hon-Temae,” which laid the groundwork for modern Edomae sushi. This legacy produced many renowned sushi chefs, such as Imada Juji, founder of Ginza Kyubey, Sugiyama Munekichi, the second-generation chef of Sushi Kōbo Honten, and Suzuki Mamoru of Nihonbashi Sushikane.
By the early Showa era, advancements in preservation techniques led to the combination of sashimi and vinegared rice, popularizing the modern Edomae sushi nationwide. Enjoy the rich traditions of Edo and Misuji’s cultural heritage in every bite of our nigiri sushi.
