Signature Dishes

  • Kobako crab sushi

    The crab meat is sweet and fresh, with a fine texture; getting kobako crab at this price level is a plus.

  • Fried eel

    The fried eel has a lingering fresh sweetness.

  • Tamagoyaki

    Its texture is like a moist, premium honey cake.

  • Firefly squid

    It bursts with juices when you bite into it, with a fresh, delicious flavor and a surprising effect.

  • Kin-dai nigiri

    The kin-dai is paired with yuzu-kosho sushi rice, making a particularly strong combination.
