Junichi Onuki (Isana Sushi Bar, Tokyo) - the art of sushi
from Dirty Linen - A Food Podcast with Dani Valent · host A Deep in the Weeds Production
Junichi Onuki is the chef and owner of Isana Sushi Bar in Tokyo. Life in Japan feels mostly normal though density restrictions and a lack of international visitors mean tiny Isana is very quiet and unable to make a profit. We talk about the pandemic and then deep dive into sushi: what is Junichi-san's style, how did he learn and what are the important principles that turn raw fish and vinegared rice into a transcendent dining experience. https://www.instagram.com/junichi72/?hl=en Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=en Follow Dani https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Deep In The Weeds on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=en Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/
