The sushi restaurant that will be introducing the dishes is Sushi Wa, a sushi restaurant that has been in business for 45 years, run by the husband and wife team. The owner, Kazuo Suzuki, became an apprentice at a sushi restaurant in Nagaoka City when he was 18 years old and trained under his master for about 10 years. He also went to Tokyo to study, and apparently trained from morning till night every day, sacrificing sleep. During the day, he would watch and learn his master's techniques, and at night he would secretly practice making sushi using okara (soy pulp) and towels.
The reason he started his own business was a single comment from his wife, who had been supporting him while he was training: "Why don't you start your own business?"
Of course, this restaurant serves sushi made with fresh ingredients, but it's also a wonderful place where you can enjoy the perfect chemistry and banter between the husband and wife who run it.
Now, let's get straight to the easy recipe! This time, we'll be making "Japanese Yam and Squid Salad"!

Yamatoimo has less moisture than nagaimo, and when sliced thinly and finely, its crisp texture and the sweetness of the squid blend well together. When eaten with a little soy sauce, you can appreciate the crisp taste of the carefully selected dry new sake even more.

The slightly sweet miso and the lingering spiciness of the Kagura Nanban peppers further enhance the crisp taste of the new sake.
