Sekiguchi Shota's family operated a small sushi shop (巴寿司) in the small city of [[Otaru|Otaru, Hokkaido]]. The business was badly affected by the encroachment of Sasa Zushi (笹寿司), a sushi-chain conglomerate which sought to dominate the market by offering cheaper mass-produced sushi, glitzier facades and suppressing prices of ingredients through bulk purchases. To make matters worse, Shota's mother suffered from incurable illness which drained the family of their savings and disrupted his father's earnings.

⚫
In an attempt to save the family business, Shota took over his father's, Sekiguchi Genji's, place in a local sushi competition after his father was injured. Despite not winning, Shota impressed one of the judges, Otori Seigoro. Otori Seigoro was owner of O Sushi (鳳寿司), a famous establishment in [[Tokyo]]. He offered to take on Shota as an apprentice. Sekiguchi Genji agreed, realising that Shota would need the greater exposure in Tokyo in order to develop himself to face the challenge of reviving the family business.

⚫
In Tokyo, Shota faced numerous obstacles and realised being a successful sushi master was a lot more than just knowing how to prepare tasty sushi. The two most senior disciples in O Sushi, Fujita Masaji (藤田政二) and Okamura Hidemasa (岡村秀政) were friendly and helpful, but the third disciple, Saji Yasuto (佐治安人), frequently bullied the newcomer Shota and the other young apprentice Obata Shingo (小畑慎吾).

⚫
Otori Seigoro quietly assessed the situation and decided the best way for Shota to master the trade quickly was to allow the rivalry between Shota and Yasuto to develop for the two spur each other. He announced a three-round contest between them to select the representative of O Sushi in the forthcoming Tokyo sushi competition.

Shota's friends managed to find one for him but it was stolen by Yasuto to use in the contest. Despite using an inferior sub-species of the sea bream, Shota won by employing a superior cooking technique. The loss was a blow to Yasuto. It also shook him up and reassess his own approach towards life.

The newcomer Shota was disadvantaged as it would take years to brew a decent sauce. Shota came up with an innovative method of preparing the dish without the use of traditional sauce. Though it was delicious, he lost the round as he failed a critical question posed by Otori Seigoro on the order of serving the dishes.

[edit]

Shota Sekiguchi's family operated a small sushi shop (巴寿司) in the small city of Otaru, Hokkaido. The business was badly affected by the encroachment of Sasa Zushi (笹寿司), a sushi-chain conglomerate which sought to dominate the market by offering cheaper mass-produced sushi, glitzier facades and suppressing prices of ingredients through bulk purchases.

Shota's friends managed to find one for him but it was stolen by Yasuto to use in the contest. Despite using an inferior sub-species of the sea bream, Shota won by employing a superior cooking technique. The loss was a blow to Yasuto. It also shook him up and reassess his own approach towards life.

The subject was the second round was unagi. The contest favoured Yasuto who revealed he had been brewing his own eel sauce for the past three years — the gravy was a crucial component of preparing the dish.
