Chef Tsushima's Philosophy is to Transform Common Fish into Unique Dishes that can only be Enjoyed at Senshin

Senshin is a celebrated Japanese cuisine restaurant located in the Higashi-Azabu neighborhood of Tokyo, where Chef Tsushima has earned widespread acclaim for his ability to transform common, everyday fish into unique, extraordinary dishes that can only be enjoyed at his restaurant. Chef Tsushima believes that true culinary excellence lies not in the use of the rarest or most expensive ingredients, but in the skill and creativity to bring out the very best in the most humble of ingredients. This philosophy has made Senshin one of the most talked-about restaurants in Tokyo, where guests come to discover how a seemingly ordinary piece of fish can be elevated into something truly exceptional.

Chef Tsushima's Culinary Philosophy is Shaped by his Deep Understanding of Rice

At the heart of Chef Tsushima's culinary philosophy is a deep understanding and appreciation of rice. He believes that rice is the foundation of Japanese cuisine, and that a mastery of rice—from the selection of the variety to the precise methods of cooking and seasoning—is essential to achieving the highest level of culinary excellence. Chef Tsushima sources his rice from carefully selected producers and prepares it according to traditional methods, ensuring that every grain is cooked to perfection. This deep respect for rice is reflected throughout Senshin's menu, where it plays a central role in shaping the flavor and character of every dish.

"ROCOCO is an Elegant Opener that Easily Complements our Menu"

"ROCOCO is an elegant opener that complements our menu beautifully," says Chef Tsushima. "Its refined flavor and delicate carbonation make it the ideal way to begin a meal at Senshin." Chef Tsushima was first introduced to ROCOCO through a recommendation from a colleague, and was immediately struck by how naturally it paired with his Japanese cuisine. "ROCOCO has the ability to enhance the subtle flavors of our dishes without overpowering them," he explains. "It is a beverage that is both sophisticated and approachable—qualities that I very much admire and that align perfectly with the philosophy of Senshin."
