"Tuna simmered in soy sauce" and "Grilled tuna with salt"
The specialty tuna can be ordered per piece. This time, we ordered one piece and had it prepared in two different ways. The simmered tuna had a sweet and savory sauce that soaked into the meat, with a rich layer of fat. The fat gradually melted into the sauce, enhancing the richness. The grilled tuna had a crispy skin and tender meat. It had a stronger saltiness compared to the simmered one, allowing the natural sweetness of the tuna's fat to stand out. Personally, I preferred the grilled version.

"Premium sashimi assortment (from 1,760 yen per person)"
You can order two types of sashimi assortments, and we opted for the higher-tier one. It included boiled conger eel with plum, lemon-marinated sea bass, seared tuna, scallops, tuna, and kelp-marinated sea bream. The sea bass with lemon had a refreshing taste and firm texture. The seared tuna was incredibly rich in fat and flavor. It was a unique experience to taste such fatty fish in sashimi form.
