Nagoya-Style Grilled Unagi
A highlight of our menu is the Nagoya-style grilled eel. This signature dish features a perfectly crispy exterior that gives way to a tender, succulent interior. The glaze, perfected over years using traditional techniques, adds a sweet and savory finish that elevates the unagi to a new level of deliciousness.
In-House Dry-Aged Fish
A testament to our culinary precision, our fish is dry-aged in-house to enhance its natural umami and texture. This meticulous process concentrates the flavor, offering a depth that is both unique and unforgettable. It’s an experience that showcases the delicate artistry of Japanese food preparation.

Sourced directly from Toyosu Market, our sashimi is a vibrant celebration of the sea. Each slice is a demonstration of our chefs’ precise knife skills and the pristine quality of the fish. As one guest raved, “The Otoro melts in your mouth like butter—rich, smooth, and absolutely indulgent.”
