Our Methods for Enhancing the Flavor of Fresh Fish

To maximize the flavor of our fresh seafood, we prioritize the ingredients' natural umami and aroma, adhering to the simplest cooking methods possible. For sashimi, for example, we might suggest not only soy sauce but also ponzu, salt, or homemade condiments that best match the fish of the day.
