Profile

Sushi snobs are an imperious bunch, but mention the name Masatoshi "Gari" Sugio in their midst and they begin squealing like a bunch of boy-band groupies. At his small, uniquely Japanese establishment, he marinates raw fish in sake, works with a lively spicy mayo, and singes pieces with his trusty butane blowtorch.Such innovations may be common these days, but they're rarely equaled.
