“Daiku-machi Sushijin” is a distinguished sushi restaurant led by the unconventional chef Izumi Kimura, who mastered the art of sushi entirely through self-study. After a career in construction and consulting, his passion for sushi led him to open the restaurant in 2005. Since then, it has earned a Michelin star and received high praise in numerous gourmet guides. What makes Sushijin truly unique is its unconventional style—shaped not by traditional apprenticeship, but by a path forged independently.

The course alternates between tsumami (small dishes) and nigiri, showcasing Toyama’s rich local ingredients in inventive ways that continue to captivate guests. The rice, cooked twice daily and seasoned with red vinegar, is tailored to each topping, offering a fresh surprise with every bite.

Set in a warm, nostalgic space reminiscent of a Showa-era sushi shop, the restaurant reflects Kimura’s evolving philosophy. He explores new pairings such as champagne, while also honoring Toyama’s culinary heritage through dishes like traditional masu-zushi. Sushijin is a place where tradition and innovation meet—an ever-evolving destination for sushi lovers.
