Dessert | Seasonal fermented dessert (such as citrus panna cotta) *Each dish is prepared using ingredients in their finest condition according to the day’s catch and the changing seasons. Parts of the menu may be subject to change depending on availability. ■Three Commitments of 39 Citrus 1. [Awaji Island Three-Year Torafugu Delivered Directly from Minami-Awaji] By raising the fish in the sea for one year longer than the usual two years, the flesh develops exceptional firmness, rich flavor, and abundant premium collagen. We carefully source the finest Awaji Island three-year torafugu directly from the region. 2. [Deep, Refined Flavor Brought Out by House-Made Fermented Seasonings (Koji)] We use house-made fermented seasonings such as shio koji, soy sauce koji, ponzu koji, and onion koji, all carefully prepared in-house. From our signature ponzu koji that enhances the delicate umami of torafugu to our fried fugu with salt koji, we offer an exceptional Japanese dining experience shaped by the power of fermentation. 3. [First-Draw Dashi Made from Kombu and Three Types of Bonito Flakes] Dashi, the foundation of Japanese cuisine, is made using fragrant first-draw stock carefully extracted from selected kombu and three kinds of bonito flakes. The result is a deeply satisfying flavor that lingers beautifully, down to the very last drop of the tecchiri hot pot. ■Seating, Access, and Reservation Conditions ・Seating: We offer semi-private horigotatsu rooms (for 2 to 15 guests) where you can relax and stretch your legs. *Please note that the inner tatami room for parties of 10 to 15 guests is a smoking-permitted seating area, and by law, guests under 20 years of age are not permitted to enter.
