They make only a limited amount each day, so better go before they’re sold out.

“We serve our finest Edomae-zushi (Tokyo-style sushi) over a counter made of a single piece of hinoki cypress wood,” they say.

For lunch, we offer not only sushi, but also sea bream chazuke (rice in a clear soup or tea) and fresh seafood chirashi-zushi, etc., which can be enjoyed casually. At night, we offer an omakase (“leave-it-to-us”) sushi course. Please enjoy the many kinds of sushi we offer. We carefully choose between red vinegar and white vinegar for each type of sushi.”
