Signature Dishes

  • Sushi rice

    Sweet and distinct, with an airy texture; the acidity of blended vinegars complements various fish.

  • Sea urchin

    A fleeting hint of alum gives way to a delicate sweetness that lingers.

  • Meji maguro akami-and-otoro

    Winter-limited meji maguro, about 3 kg, with little fatty streaking and an exceptionally tender texture; the sauce aroma complements the fish.

  • Wild conger eel

    Presented with light grilling and searing, with delicate, crisp, and sweet flesh.

  • Filefish sushi

    The fish is fresh and crisp, paired with tender, fresh-tasting liver for a contrast of crispness and softness.

  • The space is spacious, but there has been an instance of echo where conversations from other guests could be heard clearly.
