素材本位の妙技と、赤白二種のシャリが導く最良の一口
The sushi is characterized by its rich flavors that enhance the ingredients. The signature steamed abalone can be enjoyed like a risotto with liver sauce and red vinegar rice. We use the finest ingredients sourced from Kyoto and Toyosu Market to provide the best flavors of the day. We offer a unique sushi experience using distinctive techniques.
尾州桧のカウンターで味わう、臨場感とぬくもり
A homely atmosphere where guests can bond at the counter made of Bishu cypress. There is an uplifting feeling as you can see the cooking from any seat, and the waiting room on the second floor is spacious and relaxing, allowing you to enjoy drink time while waiting to start. We provide a warmth that can only be experienced in this space.
