Signature Dishes

  • Firefly Squid Tempura

    The fried firefly squid has two textures.

  • Shiso and Uni Tempura

    The shiso-and-uni tempura comes in a generous portion, with a fresh, smooth mouthfeel and a clear sweetness.

  • Asparagus Tempura

    The asparagus lets the ingredient's natural freshness shine; during a mid-March visit, it was also among the favored dishes.

  • Tendon

    The rice for the tendon is cooked in a clay pot, and the tendon is available in large, medium, or small bowls.

  • Fried Burdock

    The fried burdock is paired with coffee powder; the coffee's fragrant bitterness blends with burdock's earthy character to create a herbal aroma.
