🥕 Omakase Course: ¥11,000

Course Menu

• Azuki porridge
  → It contains cod milt, which goes perfectly with the azuki; gold leaf is placed on top.

• Sea cucumber and azuki vinegar dish
  → The azuki vinegar is fresh!
  The sweetness of azuki surprisingly matches the sourness of the vinegar.

• Fried fugu
  → The flavor clings well to the coating and is delicious.

• Tempura of tara no me (tender sprout) and kogomi (fern)

• White miso soup
  → Contains mochi, satoimo (Japanese taro), daikon, and spinach; the satoimo is very sweet and has a flavor reminiscent of sweet sake. The white miso base is a bit sweet, and the mustard sharpens the sweetness, making it easy to drink.

• Fugu
  → Served with chives, plum, and wasabi.
  Fugu eaten with a dipping sauce is bliss.
  You could eat as much as you want; rather, you’d want to eat more.

• Grilled meizuna
  → The plum sauce is extremely delicious. The plum is not overwhelming, retaining sweetness while perfectly complementing the meizuna.
  (Imagine a sauce like yakitori with plum, but more refined.)
  The namasu has just the right crunch, pairing well with the sauce.

• Yellowtail and red daikon sandwich
  → Fresh green onions are underneath, topped with vinegared miso and jelly. Very refreshing!

• Seris and sea bream with grated daikon

• Clay pot rice
  → Mackerel sushi, beef tendon with eggs, and tororo rice

• Dried persimmon and walnut starch grilled
