Art style: 3D Anthro.
A tense vertical close-up of a sushi prep station at La Crosta. In the foreground, a sharp yanagiba knife rests on a damp wooden cutting board beside neatly arranged sushi ingredients and tools. In the background, the Sushi character Koji stands ready to begin, his eyes narrowed with intense focus. Steam rises from a nearby rice cooker. The lighting combines cool overhead LED lights with the warm golden glow of heat lamps, creating a dramatic, energetic atmosphere with deep shadows and bright highlights.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
A high-quality 3D animated cinematic shot featuring anthropomorphic characters. The style is reminiscent of premium 3D animation studios like Pixar, Dreamworks, or Illumination. Expressive human-like features, anatomy, and emotions, combined with hyper-realistic textures of their natural materials and fabrics. Dramatic cinematic lighting, beautiful rim light, soft shadows, deep rich colors, shallow depth of field, 8k resolution, octane render, Unreal Engine 5 style, masterpiece.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
