Fresh apples and lemons are grated daily and added to the rich sauce that has been passed down from generation to generation, providing a traditional taste and a fresh sensation at the same time. The special sauce, along with wasabi (Japanese horseradish), which enhances the flavor of the meat, is designed to produce not only flavor, but also aroma, so that the aroma does not skip.
