"Kiyo Asakusa" is a sushi restaurant where you can have authentic Edo-style sushi for 35 years.

Sushi is synonymous with Japanese food, but it is said that the style of nigiri sushi that led to it appeared in the Edo period.

Until that time, sushi made with lids and weights, such as pressed sushi, was the main focus, but the form of nigiri sushi, with vinegared rice on top of spiced rice, and spiced foods, appeared.

The stalls where you can eat nigiri are quickly becoming popular, and spread quickly throughout Edo.

At that time, the stalls were in a standing-up style, where you could select two or three of the side-by-side grips and eat them quickly to return home.

It can be said to be the Edo period version of fast food, and it seems to have been a good choice for impatient Edo children.

In addition, high-end sushi restaurants that set up shops for Australian merchants and high-ranking officials have appeared, and have spread widely from ordinary people to high-ranking officials.

By the way, the initial nigiri sushi is too large to be eaten by a bite, and with the passage of time, it seems that it has changed to a size that can be eaten by a bite like the current nigiri sushi.

Nigiri sushi was invented in a time when there was no refrigeration technology. By working on fish and shellfish, a method was developed to maximize the flavor of the ingredients while keeping them in a condition suitable for preservation.

The wisdom of such sushi chefs has been handed down to the present day as "Edo-style sushi".

In our shop, we inherit the traditional technology, we have been consistently in a way that customers can taste the most delicious.
