BEYOND THE COUNTER
Sushi Summit began in 2019, born from a shared passion for food, sushi, culture — and above all, people.
7 years later, as we approach Vol.10, that passion remains unchanged.
Sushi Summit Founder Soon Wei travelled to Ishinomaki, Miyagi — home to the chefs joining Vol.10 and the community behind Datemae Sushi.
Guided by Kei Omori, he visited Daisui’s seafood processing facility to see firsthand the people, expertise and dedication behind the fish that reaches the sushi counter.
For Soon Wei, building Sushi Summit means going beyond the event itself. It means visiting the places, meeting the people and understanding the work that makes sushi possible.
Before the chefs meet at the counter, we go behind it.
This is the passion behind Sushi Summit.
