Sushi Takaya

We source the finest fish caught that very day and have it air-shipped to us. Throughout the year, we offer the best seasonal ingredients and recommended dishes featuring what’s in season. Additionally, to allow you to enjoy Japanese sake in a relaxed setting, we’ve created a “Snacks & Nigiri Course with Sake Pairings” as part of our set menu. You can enjoy sake carefully selected by our sommelier and sake sommelier alongside our seasonal dishes. We offer approximately eight varieties of carefully selected sake to pair with our appetizers and nigiri.

<About the Shari> The rice used for the shari is two-year-old rice harvested at the foot of the Shirakami Mountains, an area rich in nature. We use red vinegar in the mixture to offer authentic Edomae-style sushi, just as it was enjoyed during the Edo period. Red vinegar is a premium ingredient that takes a long time to brew, and because sushi rice made with it requires careful handling, its use gradually fell out of practice. However, to ensure you can enjoy this authentic Edomae-style sushi, we use red vinegar brewed using traditional methods. The sushi rice, tinged with a faint light brown hue, gains a deeper, more savory flavor from the rounded sweetness of the red vinegar. It beautifully complements the fresh ingredients. <Sample Menu from a Recent Day> Please note that the menu changes daily and from moment to moment depending on the season and availability of ingredients. ■Appetizer: Hokkaido saltwater sea urchin and sweet shrimp, dashi jelly, served with caviar ■Sashimi: Hokkaido whelk; Awaji horse mackerel seasoned with Himalayan rock salt ■Sardine meatball soup ■ Spring rolls with young ayu■ Abalone marinated in shochu lees, seared on lava stone■ Sushi accompaniments: pickled ginger, fava beans, betara pickles, water eggplant, and mountain wood ear mushrooms ■10 Pieces of Sushi (Sample Selection): Hand-rolled tuna head with button shrimp, tiger prawns, salted sea urchin, kinki, fatty tuna, Saga beef with truffles and caviar; sea bream ochazuke; conger eel with salt ■Rolls: Dried gourd strips, cucumber, egg roll topped with fatty tuna and sea urchin ■ Egg ■ Miso Soup ■ Dessert *Please note that the menu is subject to change depending on ingredient availability and other factors.
