ChefTakao Okiguchi: Valuing Local Produce and Sake
In 1976, he opened "Shusai" without any prior training, learning the fundamentals of cooking through self-study. Not only did he learn cooking, but he also studied pottery on his own, serving dishes in the utensils he made himself. Being a sake enthusiast, he thoroughly pursued the question of "If I were to drink sake, what kind of dishes or snacks would I want to enjoy it with?" He established a unique style at Shusai, creating dishes with a focus on locally sourced ingredients using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
Space"Enjoying Evening Drinks While Listening to Smooth Jazz in a Historic Traditional House"
The texture of the aged wood exudes a strong presence in its exterior. Upon stepping inside, a soothing space unfolds, gently enveloped by the soft light of bare light bulbs. The interior is equipped with counter seating and about five private rooms of various sizes. With the desire for guests to enjoy a special time away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, a unique atmosphere is created with modest lighting and carefully selected furnishings. In this tranquil space, there is a warmth that somehow brings comfort, allowing one to forget the passage of time and leisurely savor an evening drink.
Food "First, a drink with the appetizer served in a box. Enjoy exquisite sake and delicious dishes that tantalize the heart of a sake lover."
At Sakabai, the sake enthusiast Mr. Okiguchi has thoroughly pursued the question of "what kind of dishes or snacks would I like to drink with my sake," resulting in exquisite food and drink that tantalizes the hearts of sake lovers. The "box meal appetizer," served in a box resembling a stacked bento, is a signature dish of Sakabai. It features six small dishes, including simmered wild vegetables, Hinai chicken sashimi, white sesame dressing with smoked daikon, shime saba (marinated mackerel) with flower-shaped tofu, and deliciously simmered herring, all carefully selected to pair well with sake, making it a true delight for sake drinkers.
The warmth of bare light bulbs evokes nostalgia, making you want to raise a glass. Spend an evening immersed in local love with sake and snacks in a charming old house.
Akita Prefecture, known for its rice and sake production, is home to "Sakabai" in Akita City. Here, you can enjoy carefully selected local sake by Mr. Okiguchi, along with regional dishes made from lo...cally sourced ingredients. With around 60 varieties of sake available, the dishes, including sashimi and grilled items, are crafted with care using traditional methods and no chemical seasonings, ensuring a perfect pairing with the drinks. Experience a blissful moment savoring the charm of Akita in this tranquil northern city.
