A diner who enjoyed the premium nigiri set lunch noted the balance between the red-vinegar rice and the toppings, especially the sweetness of the sea urchin and the care given to the lean tuna and seared white fish. The grilled sweet shrimp head served alongside was another detail that made that particular meal memorable. The menu lists the premium nigiri set at ¥2,100; it includes nigiri with fatty tuna, a small dish and soup, among other items.

For a substantial sushi lunch, the premium set is one option; for something lighter, there is a sushi set for ¥1,100. It is listed with an assortment of 9 kinds of sushi, a small dish, salad and soup. Beyond sushi, the choices include a set centred on sashimi and a makunouchi set combining assorted side dishes with a small sashimi selection. There is also a ¥1,700 set that brings sushi and makunouchi together, making it easy to choose according to your appetite.

The à la carte sushi menu ranges from live octopus and sweet shrimp to bluefin tuna, kelp-cured white fish and fatty tuna. Listed prices run from ¥250 to ¥680 per piece, so it is easy to sample a few different toppings or add a favourite to your meal.

In the evening, the menu extends beyond sushi and individual seafood dishes to seasonal hot pots. The listed seafood shabu-shabu serves 2 people and comes with about 10 kinds of seafood, vegetables and other accompaniments, broth, and Himi udon. For a different way to enjoy seafood than a meal centred on nigiri, the courses may also be worth asking about. Dine-in service and counter seating make the restaurant a practical choice for a solo set lunch. Evening reservations are available and recommended, particularly if you are considering a hot pot or course.
