The menu changes daily based on fresh catches, ensuring no two experiences are the same. Standout dishes include cod tarama with radish, iwashi on toast with Japanese fruit tomato and Cantabrian anchovy, Hokkaido uni on toast with seaweed butter, bluefin tuna carpaccio with Calabrian chili oil, Hokkaido scallops in Pernod-laced sauce with Sicilian pistachio crumble, ma yau with sauce vierge, and red prawn carbonara.
