Our chef, Mr. Kawanona initially gained experience in his family's fish shop and holds a merchant's licence; he personally buys all the produce. He is also licensed to prepare blowfish and has the ability to prepare suppon turtle dishes. (Please enquire about these options in advance. Prior notice of at least one week is required.) Our best bluefin tuna, which has both sweetness and umami (savory taste), is sourced from different places according to the season. We also invest effort into securing choicest products for all our other ingredients. One example is how we buy vegetables from Hokkaido when in season but go elsewhere for the best produce in winter. Another example is how we get our delectable fish from Honshu and Kyushu, and seasonal sake from all over Japan. Regardless of whether you wish to hold a meeting or a celebration, just inform us of your purpose when you make your reservation and we can provide the appropriate food and seating.

The fish used in our sushi are sourced straight from the Otaru market - guaranteed fresh. The best way to enjoy the pick of the season's ingredients is with our "Seasonal sushi selection".

A rich stock, replenished each day, is filtered and mixed with kelp and shavings of dried, smoked mackerel to create that day's soup stock. A variety of ingredients are added before boiling together to create "Oden" stew. The "daikon" (large white radish) is packed full of flavor, and is well worth a try. This radish wins points for size, and is one of the most popular ingredients of the oden. Thick radishes are chosen and boiled until the flavor of the stock permeates right into the core.

I think a restaurant's ability is clearest when looking at its appetizers. Dishes at a restaurant with delicious appetizers will all be delicious. Appetizers are easy for chefs to try ideas.
