Coming Up
At Sushi Shiro in Fukuoka, Shiro Takaguchi’s name is part of the operating definition of the room. That matters in sushi, where the counter is built on repetition, timing, and a narrow margin for error.

In Fukuoka, that is enough to sketch the shape of the operation without pretending to know more than the record provides.
