Signature Dishes
Shiso Uni Tempura
Shiso leaf wraps Hokkaido bafun uni; the batter is thin and crisp with a crisp bite, while the uni remains runny. On one occasion, it was also found slightly oily.
Eel Kamameshi
The skin and flesh are cooked separately: the skin is crisp, the flesh is steamed then grilled, and the rice has a fragrant pot-fired aroma alongside the eel's fresh sweetness.
水針魚 Sashimi
The fish is tender and sweet; the tangy vinegar jelly makes each bite more refreshing and layered.
Fish-Paste Shinjo Soup
The fish-paste ball is delicate and springy, with bamboo-shoot strips, served in a clear bonito broth with a fresh, sweet, mellow taste.
