This time, they received what can be described as the 'star' dishes, which many guests visiting the restaurant tend to order.

A5 Wagyu Sirloin Skewers

The combination of meat and sea urchin is a sure win! The Wagyu beef is very tender, and its flavor intensifies the more you chew. Fresh fresh sea urchin pairs exceptionally well with the Wagyu. The seasoning is simple, allowing you to enjoy the natural tastes of both the meat and the sea urchin. You can also change the flavor with wasabi or salt.

Recommended Pairing: Wagyu Skewers × Premium Highball

Fatty Wagyu pairs perfectly with highballs like 'Yamazaki' or 'Hakushu'. The delicate smokiness and the sharpness of the carbonation further enhance the flavor of the meat.

King Crab (Butter Grilled)

The king crab arrives in unimaginable volumes. The style of grilling it with butter offers a rich flavor that is easy to eat even for those who are not familiar with seafood.

Recommended pairing: King crab × rare sake such as 'Dassai'

The richness of butter added to the king crab pairs well with a Junmai Daiginjo sake, which is akin to a 'full-bodied white' wine, boasting a fragrant aroma and a rich flavor. The sweetness of the crab beautifully harmonizes with the fruitiness of the sake.

Chef's Choice Nigiri (12 pieces)

Luxurious ingredients that one must not miss when visiting Japan, such as bluefin tuna and sea urchin, are featured. The sushi crafted by artisans who have honed their skills at a members-only sushi restaurant offers a perfect unity of rice and topping, presenting not only a delightful taste but also a visually stunning appearance. It's a masterpiece that seems to encapsulate the richness of Tsukiji Market in a single dish.

Recommended pairing: Nigiri sushi × dry local sake

To fully enjoy the variety of 12 pieces of sushi until the end, a supportive sidekick that does not interfere is essential. A sharp, dry Japanese sake highlights the individuality of each piece and keeps the palate clean.

The selection of alcoholic beverages is also noteworthy. From globally recognized brands like "Dassai" and "Juyondai" to rare local sakes known only to connoisseurs, a wide range is available.

Suitable for Various Occasions

The stage for captivating hospitality caters to a variety of scenes.

The restaurant boasts over 50 spacious seats. The counter seats, where guests can watch the chefs' skillful preparation up close, are perfect for those who want to enjoy food as entertainment. On the other hand, the tatami seating area, featuring relaxing 'hori-gotatsu' style seating where guests can stretch their legs, is designed to prevent fatigue even during long meals, offering a taste of Japanese culture.
