Making Fresh Fish from the Port Even More Delicious! Home Preparation Tips

Once you receive your fresh fish direct from the port via takeout or delivery, we encourage you to add a few touches at home. A little creativity can further enhance the delightful experience you'd expect from dining in our restaurant.

Impress with Presentation

  • Re-plating onto a Large Dish: Dishes like sashimi and carpaccio can be made significantly more luxurious simply by re-plating them beautifully onto your own large serving dish. Utilizing empty space or adding colorful vegetables (such as shiso leaves or edible flowers) is also recommended.

Mind the Temperature and Aroma

  • Serve at the Right Temperature: Warm dishes will have their flavors and aromas enhanced by a light reheating just before eating. Cold dishes like sashimi, when taken out of the refrigerator and allowed to return to room temperature slightly, will allow you to better appreciate the fish's natural umami.
  • Enjoy Aromas with Condiments and Garnish: In addition to the provided condiments (wasabi, ginger, green onions, etc.), adding seasonal herbs or citrus (such as sudachi or lemon) from your home will deepen the aroma and make the dish even more delicious.

Enjoy Pairing with Drinks

Our fresh fish direct from the port dishes pair excellently with a variety of drinks.

  • Sake: Enjoy pairing with local Yasu sake or renowned sakes from across Japan, from light Junmai Ginjo to rich Junmai-shu, depending on the type of fish and cooking method.
  • White Wine: Crisp dry white wines are particularly well-suited for Western-style fish dishes and carpaccio.
