Chef Moon Kyung Hwan was inspired by the lead character in a sushi manga. Dreaming of forming sushi by hand, he journeyed to Japan from his native South Korea. His earnestness in studying Japanese and sushi technique at the same time earned him the nickname ‘Shota’, the name of the protagonist in that manga. He frequently visits Toyosu to build trust with wholesalers and pours his heart into sushi-making. His negima soup is a tribute to the food-stall culture of Edo.
