✨SPECIAL✨
Bonito Carpaccio (Japanese style. Garlic Chives & Shio-Kombu)

One bite brings a burst of aromatic garlic chives and toasted sesame oil, perfectly balancing the rich umami of bonito with a refreshing hint of vinegar. ✨
Topped with crispy garlic chips and chili threads for a perfect crunch, it’s light yet deeply satisfying—an amazing match with cold beer, chilled sake, or white wine. 🥢🥂
Come enjoy a fresh taste of the season with us tonight! 👍

🦐 Spot Prawn (Botan Ebi) 🦐

Known for its sweet flavor and buttery texture, spot prawn is one of the most prized shrimp in Japanese cuisine.

We serve the head lightly deep-fried as well. It may look a little intimidating, but it’s packed with rich shrimp miso and incredible flavor.

If you’ve never tried it before, this might be the perfect time. ✨

Material: Ceramic (smooth/rough), pewter(gold-coated), Glass
Design: Rim thickness & width, Opening dimension wide & narrow.
Would you like to try and compare different sake cups and glasses for yourself?
