Nestled in the alleys of Nishi-Azabu, a renowned culinary district in Tokyo, is "Jushu," a Japanese restaurant.
At the beginning of his culinary journey, Chef Masaki Senzaki had aspired to specialize in Western cuisine. However, after experiencing the extraordinary dishes at the traditional Japanese restaurant "Totoya" in Osaka's Kitashinchi district, he was deeply moved and decided to shift his focus to Japanese cuisine. After honing his skills for nine years at "Totoya" in Kitashinchi, Chef Senzaki moved to Tokyo. He further refined his craft by working at various Japanese restaurants and sushi establishments until finally opening Jushu in a tranquil residential area of Nishi-Azabu in 2010.
Through unwavering dedication and relentless research, Chef Senzaki's efforts soon bore fruit, and Jushu gained recognition as a popular dining destination.
Jushu offers Kansai-style kaiseki cuisine, incorporating fresh vegetables, seafood, and Saga beef directly sourced from Chef Senzaki's hometown of Saga. The dishes are meticulously prepared, showcasing the inherent qualities of the ingredients without the need for extravagant presentation or the use of excessive luxury ingredients. The courses are omakase style, allowing the chef to flexibly accommodate the preferences of the customers.
To complement the cuisine, Jushu features a selection of Japanese sake, primarily sourced from Saga. The "Nabeshima" brand offers approximately ten different varieties, including rare labels, allowing guests to enjoy a sake-tasting experience.
The restaurant provides a welcoming environment with a friendly chef engaging in casual conversations at the counter. Additionally, there are table seats available for business entertainment or dining with friends. The cozy atmosphere seamlessly blends traditional sukiya-style design, utilizing the high ceiling, with a tastefully decorated wooden floor inspired by European aesthetics.
Once you visit Jushu, it will undoubtedly become a valuable and cherished spot for authentic Japanese cuisine in Nishi-Azabu.
