A luxurious twist on regular salmon. These thick slices give you a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth sensation with every bite. Usually served as a single piece (一貫), it’s rich but not overwhelming
Classic and clean. Tuna is leaner than salmon and has a mild, meaty taste. It’s a staple in traditional sushi and is widely loved for its simplicity.

Seared using a blowtorch, this sushi combines the richness of fatty salmon with a smoky, grilled aroma. The texture is creamy with a warm top and cool bottom — an unforgettable bite.
Smooth and tender, squid sushi is mild with a gentle chew. It’s often served with wasabi or citrus to enhance the flavor. Great for those who want something light and clean.
For those who prefer cooked sushi, grilled salmon is a go-to. Slightly charred and often topped with sauce, it provides a comforting, savory flavor.
Crispy shrimp tempura on rice — what’s not to love? This item combines the joy of fried food with sushi format. Sometimes it comes with sweet soy or mayo sauce.
