It's that time of year! Firefly squid or hotaru ika from Hyogo prefecture is in the house! We got them in a bit early as the season typically starts March and ends in May. As the season progresses they become a bit larger but not by much

Don't let the size of these little cephalopods fool you, they are packed with flavor and go well with a bit of citrus. Pictured here with a splash of ponzu and finger limes!

Hi everyone!

After discussing with our staff, we are extending our “pause” while omicron cases fall so we can finish some necessary restaurant maintenance. We plan to reopen with full indoor dining and takeout on Feb 9th!

In the meantime, if you’re craving sushi, we are planning to do some small scale catering jobs for neighbors and friends. Send us a message, email us [email protected] or text Ryo/Cory if you have an occasion you’d like us to be a part of.

Excited to be back to work with full service soon. Thanks everyone for your support and understanding. Stay healthy!

Hi Everyone!
After a review of operations these past few days, we have decided to press pause on all business operations for two weeks.

Even after closing our dining room and operating with only take out, we couldn’t keep Omicron away from Kuma.

Based on data from other cities, we approximate that around two weeks from now we should be in a marginally better place. Until then we are going to rest, de-stress, and get ready for a return on Tuesday, Jan 25th.

In the meantime stay healthy, everyone!

The 510 pound wild boston bluefin tuna that came in last week. Those are my 2 biggest knives and the tuna makes them look like a toy. The parelles fish monger is a 11 inch knife, and the rhino cleaver is a beast weighing in at 2 pounds

I'm putting those knives to good use here. The big belly and fine tip on the parelles for filleting the fish. The rhino to split in half and chop though some bones.
kiyoi thank for letting me help out on this beautiful tuna. Always fun hanging out and smelling like tuna at the end of the day.

Tis the season for some saury pike or sanma in Japanese! Sanma is hands down quintessential fall fish and this is our very first batch.

Ponzu, fresh grated ginger, and scallions on top with plenty of wasabi because the fatty meat from this beautiful silvery fish will neutralize the kick of wasabi much like toro would do.

Chef Jesse of approves!

New toro incoming! Just broke down with and .kiyoi. Come get some!

Tuesdays and Wednesdays have been helping out breaking down tuna and has been a fun, difficult and humbling experience so look forward to more things tuna!

When the light hits the salmon nigiri just right!

Couple of big announcement to make. As many of you know California is opening up today to allow restaurant at full capacity and lifting mask mandates. Our fully vaccinated staff will continue wearing masks for the safety and sanitation reasons for the foreseeable future.

With indoor dining and increased seats we will stop deliveries but will continue doing take-out for pick up only. We want to be able to focus more on the indoor dining experience that many of us miss.

Also we don't take reservations but you can follow our link in our bio to the online waitlist where you can join the list remotely!

Thank you everyone for your support through these tough times, we appreciate every last one of you who has done take out and came to see us in person to pick up. It has allowed us to be where we are today

We ❤️ !! Get your growler filled with larger for the nice weekend weather. Swing by Barely and get some!

Rain. As much as we need it, when it's pouring and the wind is causing blackouts it's difficult to make pretty sushi!

Get some tonight, we made our cuts and pieces bigger to travel better for take out.
