    THE words “cult favourite” tend to precede any mention of sushi chef Keisuke Ohno. We would add “extra salt and more vinegar while you’re at it” to his name, too. That’s because Ohno subscribes to the old school of sushi-making – as in the super old, “we haven’t invented refrigeration yet” approach to fermentation.
