Arrogant attitude that neglects his patrons’ preference and agency. Wouldn’t dine there.

I’m all for chef’s choice, but the excuse about “health” is kind of sus.

Iv seen this many times. I have also seen them regulate which type of sause they will give you. Its standard with fine dining. They dont want you to ruin their food. Go to a cheap place if you want that.

Nozawa started this back in the 90s
He warned you once about using too much then he’d literally kick you out. Fondest memories eating with Nozawa before he became the sushi God.

As a sushi chef … I’m biased
But if u serve rolls , u better give me soy and wasabi
I’m intrigued by how long he can stay in business

I like this kind of integrity. Especially when it’s not coming from a super pricey restaurant.
I’m all for eating something the way the chef intended. If I don’t like it I’ll just not go back. Simple enough.

probably for marketing to help a yet another average sushi spot gain recognition.

I’m fine with this if they make it clear on their website.

Idk why this is upsetting people so much. It’s funny and not a huge deal. There are a million sushi restaurants to eat at if you like a lot of soy sauce.

I have never had a spicy roll that was actually spicy. (My wife disagrees, but I can’t taste the wasabi at the levels they use it.
I dislike putting straight wasabi on my roll either, I prefer the way that mixing it in with a little bit of soy sauce (seriously, I’ll eat 3 rolls and barely use a tablespoon) blend the heat out across the roll much better.
So, unless he is willing to put 4 times his normal amount of wasabi in his spicy rolls for me? I better get soy sauce and wasabi.

Are people just ruining off with the bottle or what? I know a serious omakase will take offense to this ask, but this anit it
This is their menu. I’m glad they are keeping the integrity of the craft with a deep fried tuna roll with spicy mayo and teriyaki!

Not serving rude people i can get, they’re usually all worked up, which would likely lead to lactic acid buildup in the muscle and thus making for an inferior sushi product.

I think this is kinda cool. It’s a person standing on their business, and dying on a hill. I’m fine with it and wish more restaurants would go less to cater to people who eat like shit

I just want to point out that it doesn’t say NO SOY SAUCE
It says no EXTRA soy sauce.
I’m sure you get some, just not enough to excessively drown your rolls in.

Get over yourself. Someone posted his menu and he has California rolls and other rolls that are deep fried. Who gives AF if people want extra soy?

Viral marketing. This is an ad

Why do westerners eat soy sauce with sushi? sushi is meant to be enjoyed without it most of the time and is only dip a tiny bit in the tip.
But western sushi places arent like in Japan at all

We get it, you wanna close in two years after tax fraud and low employee pay, could’ve done that instead of ragebait with a sign

I sat at a sushi bar on vacation a few years ago, and a couple proceeded to eat 6 rolls each and a few plates of nigiri, using 4-5 full dishes of soy sauce and wasabi each. That’s about 5,000 mg of sodium in one sitting.

I’m all for trusting the chef, but this seems like an oddly hard headed take for a sushi restaurant that serves the kind of sushi they do.
Those better be some amazingly nuanced dynamite rolls.
