Local lifestyle“Independent course-by-course blog review confirming chef/owner Yasu Kusano (from Fukushima; prior stints at Gonpachi Tokyo/Beverly Hills and Seattle sushi-yas). No sourcing content in the cached extract. Note: joinpearl.co's Kusano page was excluded from this cycle's rows -- its 'seasonal produce' sentence describes a different chef ('Wesley Smalley'), not Yasu Kusano, and its only Kusano-relevant content was a comparison to two unrelated restaurants (Single Thread Farm, Lazy Bear) -- see module docstring.”
