This dish uses turnips from Beijing, cooked in their skins, and plenty of caramelized white miso. In order to allow customers to enjoy the flavors of the turnips as far as possible, they are cooked in pure water. Please enjoy the clear flavor of this dish. In order for the snow crab to be served at its best, it is brought in alive and cooked in salt water at the restaurant and then rapidly cooled. In this way, the basic flavor of the crab is brought out. Snow crabs from Hamasaka in Hyogo Prefecture have a special flavor and we want you to taste this. Kyoto is a city with great water and the water we use in our cooking is drawn from Shimogoryo Shrine. Into this water, we then add dashi (soup stock) and the ingredients. In this way, the umami (savory flavor) of the ingredients is brought out. Ours is a small restaurant with just eight seats at the counter. Everything we do is visible to the customers. Our closing time isn't fixed, so feel free to take your time and relax.

Along with our "Fatty Tuna" and "Pickled Tuna", our "Boiled Eel" nigiri (handmade sushi with a topping of seafood) is a popular dish. This must-try dish, which is soft and easy to eat, and which has a melt-in-your-mouth texture, is super-fresh because we pick the eel live in our restaurant and boil it for you right away. At our restaurant we select only the best wild tuna for our stock - ones that are rich and that include the perfect amount of fat. I would never serve anything I wouldn't find delicious myself - that's my number one motto. When I pick wine or sake, I select the variety according to what will pair best with the food ordered, as well as the customer's own preferences. For our sushi rice we use mellow, expertly-made vinegar from Kotaro using classic vinegar making methods from the Edo era, which gives the rice a rich taste and a soft, fluffy texture. Enjoy the delicious harmony of our toppings and our sweet Azumino wasabi (Japanese horseradish).
