What is the legendary sushi restaurant \u300cKomatsu Yasuke\u300d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kazuo Morita, the “legendary artisan” who runs \u300cKomatsu Yasuke\u300d, a sushi restaurant so popular that reservations are hard to come by, will celebrate his 92nd birthday in March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chieko Kuroda took a one-day trip on a plane using frequent flyer miles this time, but her main purpose was to enjoy sushi at \u300cKomatsu Yasuke\u300d. She also bought many souvenirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chieko Kuroda and the Kanazawa Connection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chieko Kuroda is a charismatic model who is still popular for her youthfulness at the age of 61, but she is also active as a TV personality, and in 2006 she was a Monday regular on \u300eLaugh It Up!\u300f (Fuji Television Network) in 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also played the role of Seiko Miyoshi, the mother of Shinichi Chiaki (Hiroshi Tamaki), one of the main characters in the TV drama \u300eNodame Cantabile\u300f, a live-action adaptation of a popular manga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chieko Kuroda also visited Kanazawa in June 2019 to enjoy sushi at \u300cKomatsu Yasuke\u300d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that she had sushi at \u300cKomatsu Yasuke\u300d when she visited there for a photo shoot for the feature article \u300cChieko Kuroda, Kanazawa only in summer\u300d in the September issue of \u300eECLAT\u300f.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, in October 2018, a group of four good friends (Naofumi Iwashita, Ikuko Tokuda, and Atsuko Saeki) traveled to Kanazawa, where they enjoyed dinner at \u300cNabetaro\u300d in Shukei-cho. They seem to have some connection with Kanazawa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(*By the way, speaking of Shukei-cho, voice actress Moeka Koizumi, who visited the town on location for a photo book<\/a> complained, \u300cI don’t know how to read unless you put furigana on it\u300d.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
