Tucked inside the restaurant Hinotsuki, the minimalist room features an eight-seat hinoki counter where a Japanese chef and a Korean team serve refined sushi. The sushi rice is made with Korean rice, cooked to mimic the texture of Japanese grains and seasoned with salt and two types of red vinegar for clean umami, while the seafood is largely seasonal and caught in Korea. On occasion, diners may taste the restaurant's signature plump, deeply flavourful aji sushi. Sushi Kanesaka was the first Japanese restaurant inside a Korean hotel to be awarded a Michelin star.
