Nestled in the heart of Taipei, Sushi Ken brings the essence of Edomae sushi to Taiwan with unparalleled precision. This Michelin-recognized gem harmonizes local Taiwanese seafood with traditional techniques, offering a culinary journey that celebrates the finest seasonal ingredients.
Chef & Philosophy
Chef Ken, a master of his craft, adheres to the philosophy of "shun" (seasonality), personally selecting the freshest catches from the morning market. His meticulous approach to shari (vinegared rice) and knife work ensures each piece of sushi is a delicate balance of flavor and texture.
Signature Experience
The omakase begins with pristine white fish, progressing to luxuries like otoro, sea urchin, and anago. A highlight is the lightly torched Taiwanese red gurnard sushi, where smoky notes enhance the tender flesh. The meal concludes with a silky tamago and matcha pudding, leaving a lasting impression.
Ambiance
The intimate hinoki counter seats just eight guests, offering a front-row view of Chef Ken’s artistry. Soft lighting and minimalist Japanese décor create a serene, exclusive atmosphere.
