Let's hear it for Nakameguro. Tokyo's hippest neighborhood has some of the best artisan pizza, craft beer and third-wave coffee outlets in the city. Now with the arrival of Delifucious, we can add premium fish burgers to that list.
You can tell by the name, it's a far cry from the average fast-food filet-o-fish counter — but that's to be expected with an experienced sushi chef at the helm. Shinya Kudo's resume includes more than 10 years at high-end sushi shops, including the Michelin-starred Ginza Harutaka. Needless to say, quality is key at Delifucious.
Kudo heads to Tsukiji every morning to source his fish, so you know it couldn't be fresher. He also packs it between layers of kelp — a process, known as konbu-jime, that is used by chefs in many Japanese restaurants to draw out the moisture and imbue the fish with extra umami from the seaweed.
