Big Catch Sushi

Sushi is known as edible art. The chefs at Big Catch Sushi take a lot of pride in creating works of art with their food, which has helped them to become one of the most popular restaurants in Calgary. “We do put a lot of detail into presentation,” says owner Shin Koshirae. “You need to have the quality in the food and the presentation. Especially in sushi, it’s very important.”

It’s that artistic component that drew Shin to become a sushi master. “I love just being able to get creative. I really love art, and sushi lets me use art to make people happy," he says. "It’s a great feeling.”

The company takes its philosophy from the Japanese term Youki, which translated means “bright energy”. The chefs blend that bright energy with artistic vision to create a happy, energetic environment. As customers sit at the open sushi bar they can see the energy shining through as they watch the chefs prepare each masterpiece.
