Incredibile dinner. It was my dad’s first time in Japan and first time trying a real sushi and he was blown away by the quality and variety that chef Kunimitsu served us. Totally recommend!

Overall very good dining experience in the restaurant. The environment is cosy and the food is very special and enjoyable. The chef also has tried his best to explain every item in details. The sake pairing is also very good, too. One point not that good is I forgot to take a photo with the chef! 🤣

    [JFG Exclusive] LUNCH COURSE - With Original Souvenir -
    Reserve
    [Details]

    We are pleased to present a slightly luxurious sushi-centered course menu starting from lunchtime.

    From December 24 to January 3, only the New Year’s holiday special course menu will be available for reservations.
    Please note that this course is not accepted during this period.

    While honoring Japan’s traditions, you can enjoy exquisitely crafted dishes infused with the spirit of “shuhari,” full of creativity and ingenuity. Carefully selected seasonal ingredients by our chefs, combined with vinegars made using a production method with over 300 years of history, are paired with rice whose distinct grains and perfectly balanced sushi rice bring deep flavor to each piece of nigiri.

    In addition, each dish is prepared with sincere dedication to the aging process, bringing out the ingredients’ natural umami to the fullest and creating a feast of flavors that delights all five senses.

    Please enjoy this memorable and luxurious moment, created in the spirit of “onko-chishin” — learning from the past to create something new.

    For souvenirs, we offer our house-made tea leaf tsukudani and premium tea leaves carefully selected by the chef according to the changing seasons. Even after your meal, you can enjoy the lingering flavors of Japan at home.

    Our restaurant’s most popular No. 1 course, the “KUNIMITSU COURSE,” is a special dinner course where you can enjoy about 20 diverse dishes, with sushi as the main feature.

    This special course makes full use of seasonal ingredients. The chef carefully selects ingredients based on the day’s supply conditions and seasonal produce. Each dish is crafted with creativity and ingenuity, bringing you cuisine that blends tradition and innovation.

    For the nigiri sushi, you can enjoy an exquisite dish full of originality that incorporates the spirit of “shuhari” while respecting Japanese tradition. Using carefully selected seasonal ingredients and vinegared rice made with vinegar produced by a method with more than 300 years of history, the shari—perfectly balanced with rice grains that stand out in texture—brings deep flavor to each piece.

    You can enjoy a feast of flavors unique to our restaurant, which is based on the concept of “a sushi restaurant loved by the local community and offering excellent value for money.”

    For souvenirs, we offer homemade tea leaf tsukudani and premium tea leaves carefully selected by our master chef according to the changing seasons. Even after your meal, you can continue to enjoy the lingering taste of Japan at home.
