Edomae Sushi and Osaka sushi
Maetomo Japanese cuisine Kaiseki & Sushi’s sushi counter selects their ingredients using white or red vinegar to prepare the rice depending on the specific ingredients used in their sushi, and the menu will be dependent on the season. They utilize their perfected technique of cutting in the preparation of both Edomae Sushi and Osaka sushi to deliver the seasonal flavors of the ocean. I personally loved their creations of both Edomae Sushi and Osaka sushi as it brings out the unique, refreshing flavors of the fresh seafood with no hint of fishiness at all.
