The Art of Authentic Sushi: Exclusive Encounter with Chef Koichi at ASIE’TTE
At ASIE’TTE, the pursuit of authenticity and culinary perfection is a daily promise. To refine our recipes and deliver an impeccable Japanese dining experience, we had the honor of welcoming Chef Koichi. Immersed in our kitchens, he shares his age-old expertise with our brigade.
Technical Mastery: Adapting Japanese Craftsmanship in Morocco
To craft exceptional sushi, mastering the rice is just as vital as selecting the freshest fish. Chef Koichi focused his guidance on the invisible nuances that make all the difference on the palate.
«From my first days here, I focused on imparting the fundamentals: the precise ratio of sushi vinegar (Sushizu) and the preparation of the rice (Sumeshi). The rice available in Morocco has different characteristics than Japanese rice. Together with the team, we overhauled the entire process: the washing technique, water temperature, and soaking time. These are subtle details, but they are essential. »
