From fish, meat, rice, seaweed, and even soy sauce, every ingredient is carefully selected. Each ingredient is meticulously treated to create exceptional dishes that are unique in every way. For instance, in the "Beef Tongue and Seasonal Natural Fish Nigiri," the beef tongue undergoes low-temperature cooking, followed by approximately 8 hours of gentle restoration at room temperature and an additional 10 hours of refrigeration. Depending on the season, it's served with seasonal fish such as striped jack in spring and summer, mackerel in autumn, and yellowtail in winter.
