Sourcing

The fish decides the menu.

We don't write a card and then go shopping. The chef shops first — at auction, by hand — and the night is built from what he carries back.

From Toyosu to the counter

Twice a week a shipment lands from Tokyo's Toyosu market, chosen by our agent against the chef's standing notes: bluefin with the right fat line, uni from a single Hokkaido cooperative, kinmedai still firm. What can't fly fresh, we don't serve. Some fish rests in our aging fridge for days to deepen — others go on the counter the hour they arrive. Either way, nothing is frozen to survive a slow week. A slow week just means a shorter menu.

Likely on the counter this week

Otoro & Chutoro

The fattiest and middle cuts of bluefin tuna, aged to draw out the marbling.

What we never do

  • No freezing to fill a seat

    If the fresh fish runs short, the menu runs short. We close seats before we cut corners.

  • No farmed shortcuts

    Wild where it matters, line-caught where we can verify it, named source on request.

  • No imitation anything

    Real wasabi grated to order, real tamago folded by hand, real eel — never the substitutes.
