Starting in March, we will be revising our prices in pursuit of even greater surprise and delight.

There is one reason for this decision:

From preparation and craftsmanship
to each piece of nigiri,
the space, and our hospitality—
we will make no compromises.

This is a commitment to continue pursuing sushi that makes you feel,
“I’m truly glad I came for this one piece.”

We will further refine our pursuit of surprise and delight
and provide an experience that surpasses what we have offered until now.

We sincerely appreciate your continued support.

黒背景に置かれた握り鮨

Matsuba Crab (Snow Crab) 

Matsuba crab from the Oki Islands, Shimane Prefecture

Caught using traditional basket fishing,
this Matsuba crab is full of rich meat and packed with flavorful kani miso.

Gently steamed and served as nigiri,
topped generously with its own crab miso.

小皿に盛られた一品料理

Kinkan (Kumquat)

A blissful indulgence—dessert for the “second stomach.”

I feel the same way,
which is why I value the final moments of a meal so deeply.

While leaving a gentle lingering note of sushi,
we offer a seasonal Japanese sweet,
paired with kuromoji tea from Shimane—
a moment to relax and unwind.

緑の台に置かれた握り鮨

Kasugo-dai (Young Sea Bream)

Lightly salted,
the skin is gently blanched and then cured with kombu.

Prepared with the intention of holding spring in each piece.

黒背景に置かれた握り鮨

Sawara (Spanish Mackerel)

Spanish mackerel—harbinger of spring.

With its light, delicate fat at this time of year,
it is best enjoyed as nigiri.
