Signature Dishes
Tuna hand roll
The tuna is sweet, fresh, and delicate, with crisp-sweet bottle gourd; the yellow-radish version adds another layer of texture and flavor.
Tuna belly
The marbling is even and melts in the mouth; pairing it with high-acidity sushi rice brings out its sweetness.
Eel hand roll
The eel is crisp with some chew, but the skin is slightly sticky on the teeth; the generous shiso-leaf pairing is distinctive.
Horse mackerel
A well-handled silver-skinned fish, rich in fat with no off-odour and tender, succulent flesh.
Spear squid
The squid is slick and fresh, paired with strongly acidic sushi rice; citrus pieces add aroma.
