Specials Beginning Friday July 17h 2026

First weekend back and it feels great! We have hamo (daggertooth pike conger) that we will be preparing multiple ways. Hamo is well known in Kyoto as a staple food during these hot summer months. A bouncy texture with a light flavor (some fat during this time of year), it is quite a treat to have. We hope to see you all this weekend! Stay strong and healthy.
