Today's Special: Hiramasa (Yellowtail Amberjack)
Today's recommendation is Hiramasa (yellowtail amberjack) — prized for its firm, snappy texture and elegant, clean-finishing fat. Enjoy it as sashimi to appreciate the pure flavor, or try it lightly seared. A true seasonal treat, and only available while today's portion lasts.
Hokkaido Sanma (Pacific Saury) Arriving October 28
On October 28, we are bringing in Sanma (Pacific saury) fresh from Hokkaido — the signature fish of Japanese autumn. Grilled whole over charcoal with a squeeze of sudachi and a touch of grated daikon, it is the taste of the season at its very best. Reserve a seat to make sure you do not miss it.
New Grilled Sets: Karei & Aomori Salmon Saikyo-yaki
We are pleased to introduce two new grilled-fish teishoku sets: Karei (flatfish) Saikyo-yaki and Aomori Salmon Saikyo-yaki. Each fillet is marinated in our house Kyoto-style white miso until deeply flavorful, then grilled to a golden, fragrant finish. Served with rice, miso soup, and seasonal sides — a complete, satisfying lunch.
Ehime Shima-aji (Striped Jack) Sashimi
Straight from the rich waters of the Seto Inland Sea, we are serving Shima-aji (striped jack) from Ehime Prefecture as today's sashimi. Known as the king of summer white fish, it offers a beautifully firm texture, refined sweetness, and a clean, lingering finish. Don't miss it while it's on the counter.
Hokkaido Sanma Now at the Counter
Hokkaido Sanma (Pacific saury) has just arrived. Because this fish spoils quickly, we serve it only at peak freshness — grilled with salt until the skin is crisp and the flesh is rich and smoky. Come early; once the day's portion is gone, it is gone.

Today's catch is Hokkaido Sanma (Pacific saury), served as whole-form sashimi. The signature autumn fattiness brings a deep, concentrated umami balanced by a clean finish. Salt-grilled preparation also available — please enjoy this seasonal delicacy at its peak.
