According to a recent post from Chicago Food Chat, Kura Sushi will be expanding to Skokie at The Shops at Orchard Place in unit 17, located on the NE Corner of Skokie Blvd & Golf Rd.
A representative of Kura Revolving Sushi Bar was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Chicago’s request.
While an official opening date has yet to be released, Kura Sushi’s dishes adhere to the Japanese virtue of serving natural and healthy meals prepared with fresh, premium ingredients.
Kura Sushi takes immense pride in its ingredients. With their wasabi that is imported from Japan, it undergoes meticulous processing and manufacturing, specifically tailored for the Kura brand. What sets it apart is the absence of additives. Their wasabi is completely free from preservatives, colorings, and amino acids, ensuring that you experience its natural texture, rough and gritty as nature intended.
Kura’s sushi rice is described as a work of culinary art, and it all starts with its original vinegar recipe. A unique blend of organic rice is paired with a seasoned vinegar recipe that includes premium ingredients like red vinegar and kelp extract. This special recipe is consistently used across all their locations in the U.S., Japan, and Taiwan. The vinegar blend is manufactured and processed at their Japanese headquarters, and its secret recipe undergoes minimal changes to adapt to seasonal variations in temperature and humidity.
In the heart of Kyoto, what can be considered Japan’s food culture mecca, is where Kura goes to source the broth that elevates their dishes. This broth is the essence of authenticity and is lovingly crafted from scratch every single day. The ingredient list is simple: water, kombu kelp, and a special blend of flakes derived from mackerel, sardine, and bonito. This broth is the foundation of their miso soup, udon, and ramen noodle dishes, according to the company website.
