Ebi) |
Comments
from the
Chef |
Spiny
lobster is the special recommendation of the
month. We highly recommend it. In
August, the price
of a
spiny lobster lowers with the season. We prepare
the special course
menu using a spiny lobster. |

August
is the last chance to enjoy a delicious abalone.
Abalone from Sajima
fishi port is normally purple
abalone. Honestly, tell you that this season has less
number of abalone.
However, the fishing area will
expand beginning from this month so we
can expect to
get
more. Up until last month, the fishing area was
limited but this month
will increase and the prices will
drop. | |

All
vegetables listed above are summer products. You
can protect yourself
from the summer heat by eating
them, especially, sticky vegetables
such as Okura and
Moroheiya. | |

Comments

Our abalone is caught at Sajima fish port in Miura
Peninsula. It is
tender and very tasty. Generally
speaking, the black face is softer and
more delicious
and the
price is a little expensive. However, those are
not separated at
Sajima fishing port because every
abalone is same with delicious
taste. | |

Peach |
Comments
from the
Chef |
The last
season for peaches is just around the
corner. Honestly the taste of peaches
of this season
is not
as good as I expected. However, right after the
place of production
was moved to Gunma prefecture,
the taste of peaches has gotten much
sweeter and
taster due
to the better weather. | |
