Starters


Takoyaki balls on a white plate topped with seaweed and sauce. Set on a textured gray surface, vibrant and appetizing presentation.

Takoyaki – These octopus fritters were golden, crisp on the outside, and melt-in-your-mouth tender on the inside. The bonito flakes danced on top as the heat rose, while the drizzle of mayo and tonkatsu sauce brought a creamy, tangy, slightly sweet punch. The nori added a touch of umami that tied it all together—absolutely addictive and a must-try starter.

Miso Soup – A classic done right. The broth was warm, savory, and deeply comforting, with perfectly soft cubes of tofu and fresh scallions floating on top. Simple yet satisfying, it felt like the perfect beginning before diving into the main dishes.

Entrées

Spicy Salmon Donburi – This dish was a standout. The salmon, prepared tartare-style, was silky and fresh, marinated in a sesame-soy blend that balanced salty and nutty notes. Paired with crisp cucumber, scallions, sesame seeds, daikon, and a pop of masago, every bite had layers of texture and flavor. It was refreshing yet bold, and the nori tied in that hint of the ocean beautifully.

Pink Lady Roll – A feast for both the eyes and the palate. Tuna, hamachi, salmon, and avocado were elegantly wrapped in soy paper, giving it a delicate presentation. The jalapeño vinaigrette added a bright kick of spice, while the masago gave little bursts of brininess. The micro cilantro on top was the perfect finishing touch—fresh, vibrant, and unexpected.
