Enjoy authentic edomae sushi with us the next time you are in Kyoto.

When you stop by, I hope that you will not only enjoy the taste and atmosphere of the original restaurant, but the sushi & ingredients that can only be tasted in Kyoto city, too.

Each morning, the chef carefully selects fresh seafood from the local fish market to ensure each customer can enjoy the best of the best. The sushi rice is made from Niigata Prefecture’s Koshihikari rice, which is cooked in an iron kettle and blended with three kinds of red vinegar and rice vinegar to give it the perfect texture & flavor.
The chef also takes care to use a traditional cooking technique known as ‘kakushi bocho’ (lightly scoring the surface of ingredients) when preparing each sushi. This technique not only makes each ingredient easier to eat, but it creates a harmonious sushi experience, too.

Find the freshest seafood in Kyoto
The fresh seafood used in this restaurant’s dishes are all directly purchased from coastal fishing ports such as Hokkaido Prefecture in the north and Ise, an area located in Mie Prefecture. For example, when the chefs order fresh fish from Ise in the morning, it’s guaranteed to arrive at the restaurant by the afternoon. Because of its freshness, dishes that can rarely be enjoyed in the Kansai region can be enjoyed (such as hokke mackerel sashimi or herring sashimi).
