Feel Seasons from Seafood Variety

We offer different variety of fish in different seasons, simply because the best seasons are different for each variety of fish. Each month is different, and you will never be bored with that.

Our Fish Variety

Bluefin Tuna Otoro 大トロ

The bluefin tuna holds the title of being the monarch among fish. Within this majestic fish, the otoro stands out as the richest and most marbled part, and our bluefin tuna from the Goto Islands in Nagasaki boasts an exquisite marbling of otoro. If you were to enjoy it at a sushi restaurant, expect a bill that reaches astronomical heights. To prepare it for sashimi, it's best to slice it immediately after removing it from the refrigerator. The colder the fish, the easier it is to create delicate sashimi slices. You can also enhance its Umami flavor by searing the surface through the Maillard reaction. Our otoro is truly exceptional. Pairing suggestion: Champagne.

Bluefin Tuna Chutoro トロ

Chutoro presents an impeccable harmony between the richness of its fat content and the distinct taste of tuna. Our chutoro, sourced from carefully selected bluefin tuna from the Goto Islands in Nagasaki, boasts an astonishingly silky texture. If you're unsure about which part of the tuna to purchase for your first experience, this is the ideal choice. You'll have no regrets when you savor it. Well-aged Bourgogne would be a perfect match with our chutoro.

Bluefin Tuna Lean Meat 赤身

Akami lean meat of tuna is oftentimes considered as just cheap part of the fish. But our Akami is totally different. The intense flavor of bluefin Akami from Goto Island in Nagasaki is not comparable to Akami of any other tuna, aquacultured or wild-caught. If you like game meat, you'd love our Akami.  You can pair it with a good Bordeaux or Albi's hidden gem.

Striped Marlin マカジキ

Striped marlin, or Kajikia audax, is a magnificent fish species found in the waters around Japan. With its distinct striped pattern and long, pointed bill, the striped marlin is highly regarded both as a game fish and a culinary delight.
