醋饭与海鲜的邂逅，两口之间的艺术。
寿司的核心，是醋饭（shari，舍利）与海鲜、蔬菜或鸡蛋的搭配。东京流派是江户前握寿司——人手捏成的温热饭团上，铺一片鱼生。卷寿司（maki）、军舰卷（gunkan）、手卷（temaki）与散寿司（chirashi）皆属同一家族。
寿司诞生于十九世纪江户（旧东京）的街头快餐，是人们品尝海湾当日渔获的智慧。这份传承化作了今日的纪律：一位出色的寿司师傅会以数年光阴钻研饭的温度、刀工，以及每一贯的调味。品尝寿司，便是在品味一门历经两个世纪打磨的技艺。
臻于极致的握寿司，是一场对比的研习——清凉的鱼生、与体温相亲的米饭、一丝山葵（wasabi）与煮切酱油（nikiri）的低语。坐在吧台前，依师傅安排的顺序享用，它便成了你与制作者之间一场静谧的对话。
天然适合鱼素者（Pescatarian）。市面上亦有清真认证的寿司（连酱油都合规）。蔬菜寿司适合素食者——请确认饭的调味。
