Why did you open Sushi restaurant in Nice?|Keisuke Matsushima| No.3
Why did I open the Sushi restaurant in Nice? Because I live in Nice for a long time
Every morning, I often go to marché
All over.
For example, it could be marché in Nice,
Or I go to marché near Italy
Sometimes I receive calls directly from fish mongers or fishermen
In the morning, I encounter with good ingredients by walking around
There, I had a good idea
When I meet great fish
When I meet great shrimps and clams
Why it should be always French or Mediterranean cuisines
My origin, I mean my family was doing Sushi restaurant
About French cuisine and Sushi of Kyushu
Our Sushi style is from southern part of Japan,
That is Sushi of Kyushu
Let us imagine food from southern France
That is Mediterranean food and use lot of herbs
Lots of basil, thyme, laurel, and rosemary
Of course, they use lots of spices
Such as cumin, curry, and hot pepper
That gives accent to your taste
Kyushu is also hot area, same as southern France
Same raw materials from southern France could be found in Kyushu
Because summer in Kyushu is hot like southern France
We need to intake herbs and spices to release the heat out from the body
That is most important thing
Herbs and spices make people healthy
What do you want to tell Nice?
As a chef, I focused on French and Nice cuisines
That is why lots of Japanese visited France
Cuisines have more value than just serving food on plates
In some cases, food can be the opportunity to travel
That is what I learned in France
But now, I want to do something opposite
Together with Sushi chef who is my friend
With our Sushi
I want French people who come to our restaurants enjoy and be inspired
In that way,I want them to end up feeling, “I want to visit Japan” “I want to go to Kyushu”
Our goal is not money
Our goal is to make our customers visit Kyushu
Because we are the ambassadors of Kyushu
We have something to tell customers in Nice through Sushi
I learned a lot from Nice and Mediterranean
Therefore, it is our time now
To tell new culture to Nice, that is what we are planning to do
