✨ OTARU IKA • 小樽いか ✨

Fresh Otaru squid from Hokkaido 🇯🇵

Clean, sweet, and incredibly delicate with a texture that melts into a slight snap — a true seasonal delicacy often enjoyed as ika sashimi.

While items like this rotate based on availability and seasonality, we continue bringing in additional seafood from Japan regularly to create new experiences at the sushi bar 🍣

📍No two visits are ever exactly the same.

🦪 KUMAMOTO OYSTER • 熊本牡蠣 🦪

Creamy, briny, and incredibly smooth — Kumamoto oysters continue to be one of our favorite seasonal offerings from Japan 🇯🇵

Known for their deep cup shape and rich flavor, these oysters deliver a perfect balance of sweetness and salinity.

Selections like these may not be available every day depending on seasonality and imports, but we’re always bringing in exciting new seafood and chef-driven specialties.

🔥 RENKODAI • 連子鯛 🔥

Recently featured at the sushi bar — Renkodai (Japanese Tilefish) 🇯🇵

Light, elegant, and naturally sweet with beautifully tender flesh. A subtle fish that showcases the refined side of Japanese seafood.

Many of our seasonal fish rotate quickly and may only appear for a limited time, but we’re always sourcing additional unique selections directly from Japan ✈️🐟

Every visit brings something different.
