~Takayuki Tanaka, based in New York and leading Western food culture as a pioneer of the 'SUSHI MOVEMENT', brings his philosophy of continuously updating sushi from 'food to experience' to Japan.
On Sunday, April 26, 2026, a limited menu fusing 'Yakiniku x Roll Sushi' will be unveiled in Ikejiri Ohashi.~
Based in New York, Takayuki Tanaka, President of AUTEC inc., who has been driving Western food culture as a pioneer of the global 'SUSHI MOVEMENT', has continuously updated sushi into an 'experience' mainly in New York and Los Angeles. As the 10th installment of a new cultural approach in Japan, he will unveil a limited co-created menu with the famous Ebisu restaurant 'Yakiniku 173 (Inami)' at an event being held in Ikejiri Ohashi on Sunday, April 26, 2026.
■ Yakiniku 173 (Inami) ✖️ SUSHI MOVEMENT
While expanding the movement based in the Ikejiri Ohashi area, this event is the first collaboration project intersecting with a restaurant that sympathizes with the 'new cultural value of eating roll sushi by dipping it in an original sauce'.
The partner is 'Yakiniku 173', which garners overwhelming support for its outstanding meat connoisseurship and unique style. The carefully selected meat ingredients of the restaurant are reinterpreted in a casual yet sophisticated style of 'dipping in a special sauce' proposed by model and mom-influencer Aya Matarai. It creates a dining experience that stimulates the five senses, integrating yakiniku, roll sushi, and pleasant music.
Meat carefully selected by 'Yakiniku 173' exclusively for this event is fused with precise sushi rice provided by the technology of Audio-Technica's norimaki (sushi roll) maker (*1). By combining this with the special sauce devised by Ms. Matarai, a 'roll sushi to enjoy by dipping' that overturns the conventional concept of sushi is born. It presents new possibilities for food where the power of ingredients and free ideas intersect.

Starting with the event in Ikejiri Ohashi, collaborations with popular restaurants in various genres are planned for the future. By fusing the unique sensibilities of each restaurant with AUTEC's technology, we will continue to update 'SUSHI', loved all over the world, into a freer and borderless culture.
