Head Editor : SUSHI&ABURI WASABI

Located in Kyoto's Gion district, this popular sushi restaurant offers fresh seafood at reasonable prices. The restaurant features stylish counter and table seating, as well as a variety of private rooms that can accommodate groups ranging from 2 to 14 people.

One of the restaurant's highlights is the freshness of its ingredients. Fresh fish caught that morning in ports such as Sapporo, Hakodate, and Ise is delivered directly and served on the same day. You might find rare items like Hokke and Herring among the offerings. The vegetables are directly harvested by the staff from contracted farms in Kameoka, and other ingredients, like tofu and yuba, are sourced from long-established Kyoto shops.

The specialty is the "Aburi Sushi," where the surface of the fish is lightly seared, enhancing the flavor by melting away excess fat. The fresh seafood can be enjoyed in various forms, such as sushi, sashimi, grilled fish, tempura, and shabu-shabu. The diverse course meals featuring seasonal seafood are highly recommended.
