Kaz Sushi Bistro
KAZ writes: SUSHI and other cuisine at KAZ Sushi Bistro has been described as "Japanese tradition meets American innovation." Many of the unique and creative menu items that make up what Chef Kaz calls his "freestyle Japanese cuisine" reflect the Japanese spirit of Zen in their refined simplicity. All are marked by the pursuit of perfection, beginning with the finest ingredients. When it comes to Japanese, the pursuit of perfection starts with the rice—perhaps the most complex and challenging aspect of sushi preparation. Chef Kaz uses the highest quality domestic short-grain rice (Koshihikari) and carefully adjusts the amount of water and cooking time according to the weather and season to yield perfect sushi rice every time. You may notice that the sushi rice at KAZ Sushi Bistro has a slightly reddish hue. This is due to the use of aged red rice vinegar, which has a much higher amino acid content than conventional rice vinegar.
