The full selection

How it is sourced

Specialists, not a catalogue

01

Tuna from the tuna broker

Graded at Toyosu for fat and condition, broken down for kitchens, flown the same week.

02

Uni from the uni specialist

Hokkaido brands by name, graded A to A4. Allocations, not inventory.

03

Seasonal fish from vendors who know the waters

Wild fish when it is right, farmed fish from producers known for consistency.

Fisherman’s catch from the largest seafood market in the world, so the list follows the season and the day. Fresh fish from Toyosu is brought in to order and bought the day before it lands; nothing extra is flown in. Frozen and local items are held in stock.
