Sakura Ebi "Cherry shrimp"

Have you ever seen such tiny shrimp? You might not recognize it when you eat in haste.
This is Sakura Ebi, Cerry Shrimp. Its name drives from the body, pink and fragile.
Maybe ancient people might think it is similar to cherry blossoms.
Sakura Ebi is often sunbaked and used as stock, but you can eat it raw too.

Raw Shirasu

Shirasu is transparent fry of sardine. It tastes very good.
On this picture, this is raw shirasu. Drinking Japanese Sake, with soy sauce,
it tastes better than any other fish.
But there is boiled one too, so even if you don't like raw fish, you can eat shirasu.
Shizuoka-city is famous for Shirasu. We can catch a lot in Suruga Gulf.
This one on the picture is caught in Shizuoka and unloaded at Mochimune fishing port.

Onikasago "marbled rockfish "

This Onikasago "marbled rockfish" was caught this mornig in the Suruga Gulf.
Kasago has a lot of sharpe poisonous needles on dornal and tail fins. Once they stick in your finger, it'll be paralyzed all the day.You have to be carefull when you cook them.
However, Kasago is very delicious. Chewy and white meat is very popular among Japanese. It is often said that ugly one tastes good.
But he looks cute rather than scary.....doesn't he?

This calligraphy is one work by Mokkan Kakishita, a famous calligrapher from Shizuoka.
It is "Zuiki baika ni mitsu"
In English, it means "Plum blossoms are filled with solemn air."
Mokkan Kakishita is a famous calligrapher.

Once He had a concert in the U.S.
With a pianist playing the piano, he drew a work.
It was so unique that I remember it so vividly......only through a picture..

Dashiyakitamago "omlet with stock"


Dashiyakitmago is a kind of omlet. We usually call it Dashiyaki.
In Japanese, dashi means "stock"-not share but like soup stock.
So Dashiyaki is omlet with stock, you know. We mix egg and stock and just fry it.
The preparation itself seems very easy, but what matters is.....FIRE!
The height of fire influences the taste of Dashiyaki so much
that it is often said that "You can't fry Dashiyaki unless ten years pass."

they still work

They are my beloved kitchen knives.
I've been using them for a long time.
It's surprising that they still work!
At first they were 27cm in length but as I sharpened up them
they became smaller and smaller to about 10cm...
Now they are kind of my brother...

From the left, Jou(¥2200-), Nami(¥1050-), Shizuoka(¥1500-)
I can make these large ones. The price depends on size and day.
But inquiry is needed.


We can also pack sushi to take out. Additional ¥105- is needed.
From the left, Jou Chirahi Orizume(¥2310-), Nami Chirashi Orizume(¥1130-)
"Orizume" means packed sushi.

Mt.Fuji

Mt.Fuji is the most famous and the highest mountain in Japan.
Its height is just 3776km, so it is much smaller than Himalaya,
but it's very beautiful and we are proud of them.
Mt.Fuji is located between Shizuoka Prefecture, where I run my sushi bar, and Yamanashi Prefecture.
So I can sometimes see it and this morning I took a picture of it.
Sadly, many people dump waste in Mt.Fuji illegally and it's got much dirty.
We struggle to clean up it.
Let's cheer the movement of preservation of nature and pass our beautiful heritage to our children!!

Ishi Garei -plaice-

This is Ishi Garei, one of the species of plaice.
Ishi Garei is fish mostly caught in summer.
Its taste has a unique flavor
so we don't offer it as sushi.
We cook them as sashimi.
This way to cook add more fascinating points to its natural taste.

Sweetened Plum -Niume-

In this season,
we make Ume(Japanese abricot) into Niume(Sweetened Plum).
We need four days to make these Niume.
Ume can tear if they are boilled too much.
So delicate care is essential to cook them.

Due to our effort for four days, these Niume are made.
They don't taste sweet too much, but they will make you feel refreshed.
We present them as a dessert after your meal for only this season.
Please enjoy the taste grown up
by the blessing of rich Japan's climate and our effort.
