With a hint of autumn in the crisp air, the season that whets the appetite has arrived. Today, we’d like to introduce some of our signature dishes—featuring seasonal ingredients unique to this time of year—along with the perfect pairings that bring out their full flavor.
Carefully crafted grilled dishes that capture the essence of seasonal ingredients
“Grilled Kumamoto-grown O-naga Eggplant”—one of the quintessential flavors of fall—is a signature dish we especially recommend you try during this season. The unique juiciness of the O-naga eggplant, combined with the rich sweetness brought out by grilling, creates a flavor that is simple yet profound. Our chefs prepare this dish with exquisite control over the heat, resulting in a fragrant exterior and a melt-in-your-mouth texture on the inside. Among our meat dishes, the “Grilled Carefully Selected Pork Shoulder Loin with Spicy Grated Daikon and Ponzu” is also gaining popularity. By grilling the shoulder loin—known for its rich, sweet fat—and pairing it with the refreshing “Oni-oroshi Ponzu,” we’ve created a light, refreshing aftertaste that never feels heavy. These grilled dishes, which bring out the very best in their ingredients, are best savored at a leisurely pace in the serene atmosphere of our private dining rooms, where you can truly appreciate their full charm.
Creative small-plate dishes that brighten up the dining table and showcase the artistry of master chefs
Our table is beautifully adorned with a variety of small plates brimming with our chefs’ creativity. The “Spicy Sichuan-Style Zha Cai and Wood Ear Mushroom Salad” combines the crunchy texture of wood ear mushrooms and Zha Cai with a spicy kick—a dish you simply can’t stop eating. Additionally, our “Komatsuna and Dried Squid Salad” features the crisp texture of komatsuna perfectly balanced with the umami of dried squid, making it an excellent accompaniment to drinks. Furthermore, the “Cheese Tempura” is popular among a wide range of customers thanks to its crispy batter and the rich, creamy cheese that oozes out from the inside. These small plates allow guests with different tastes to enjoy the meal in their own unique ways, even when gathering with a diverse group, making them a key element in enhancing the overall satisfaction of any banquet. Each dish, crafted with meticulous attention to ingredient freshness and cooking techniques, serves as a catalyst to further enliven your conversation.
A blissful pairing experience where fine wine and exquisite cuisine come together
The flavors of our signature dishes are further enhanced by pairings with drinks carefully selected by our restaurant. For example, “≪Imo≫ DAIYAME,” characterized by its vibrant, lychee-like aroma, is the perfect match for our aromatic grilled dishes. The robust umami of the shochu harmonizes beautifully with the toasty aroma of the grilled ingredients, opening up a whole new world of flavors in your mouth. Additionally, for light appetizers, a drink that highlights fruity flavors—such as the “Domestic Shine Muscat Sour”—is a perfect match. The refreshing sweetness of the Shine Muscat gently envelops the saltiness and spiciness of the dishes, leaving a pleasant aftertaste to round out the meal. Spending time in a private room—a space free from interruption—exploring your own ultimate pairings is truly a luxurious indulgence for adults. Please enjoy the harmony of fine wine and exquisite cuisine to your heart’s content.
