Signature menu

• 
  The restaurant's omakase course that allows for free refills.
  At our shop, we offer two pieces of sushi for free to customers who call out "O-kawari!" to the chef in Japanese, selecting from the sushi they had that day which they would like to enjoy again.
  
  We hope you take this opportunity to remember the Japanese phrase "O-kawari" and take it home with you. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

  "Okawari" means
  "Okawari" means "to have the same thing again" or "to have an extra" in Japanese. It is mainly used in relation to meals and drinks. Example usage: "Please have another serving of rice." (When you want more rice) "Can I have more miso soup?" (When you want an extra serving of miso soup) Also, "okawari" is a casual and friendly expression. It is often used in conversations with family and friends, but in polite situations, phrases like "May I have another serving, please?" or "Could I request an extra?" are also appropriate.

  Nagano Prefecture Yaehara "Sun and Earth Rice," appealing with sugar-free sushi rice.
  Sushi rice can be enjoyed with a delicate texture that breaks apart nicely in the mouth by being lightly air-pressed. To maximize the umami of the ingredients, no sugar is used, and it is only seasoned with vinegar and salt. The vinegar used is Chidori vinegar from Kyoto, characterized by its round sweetness, and the salt further enhances the umami of the ingredients and vinegar. This rice is special cultivated rice that undergoes all operations at the right time from planting to harvesting and uses fewer pesticides. Additionally, it is dried only by wind and stored in its unhulled state, keeping the rice fresh and rich in flavor. "Sun and Earth Rice" is a cherished rice that values the blessings of nature, and its taste is exceptional. Please give it a try.

  We are committed to focusing on each individual ingredient, ensuring that you can fully enjoy the deliciousness from all over Japan.
  The fresh fish used is carefully selected from all over Japan, including Ise-Shima in Mie Prefecture, Otaru in Hokkaido, and Nagahama Market in Kyushu. We value the unique flavors of each region and source ingredients from a variety of locations rather than limiting ourselves to one place. Additionally, we incorporate vegetables grown by the owner's family and personally go to source vegetables, ensuring strict adherence to quality of the ingredients. We offer dishes that enhance the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves, providing special dishes suitable for important occasions and anniversaries. We invite you to enjoy a wonderful time with our signature dishes.

  Please pay attention to the carefully selected tableware. We hope you can feel the thoughts put into each plate.
  We have a deep commitment not only to sushi but also to the vessels. With the introduction from a pottery shop, we have visited Tamaho Kiln in Arita multiple times, and in preparation for our opening, we requested the artists to prioritize making Galaxy glaze specifically for our shop. The resulting vessels have become an essential element in delivering blissful moments to our customers alongside our sushi.
  
  Each vessel is filled with the passion of the artists and our sentiments. Please enjoy the harmony between sushi and the vessels.
