Sea perch is slightly seared over charcoal, resulting in a nice smoky aftertaste. Had two yummy pieces as I’m skipping all tuna sushi including Chutoro.

If you’re craving for a stronger and oily mouthfeel dark meat, bonito from kochi prefecture is good for you. The fishy taste is way too strong for us.

The thickly sliced squid taste is surprisingly mild and comes with a slight sweetness that makes it enjoyable with Japanese sushi rice and a tap of wasabi.

Botan shrimp is thick and firm to bite with a sweet tasting. Botan shrimp is the tastiest when it is served shortly after preparation. It’s so fresh that can you see the ebi tail is “dancing”.
