"Straw-roasting" is a traditional technique in which the dishes are roasted over the flames from burning straw. A distinctive feature of this style is that the dishes are seared all over at once, trapping the “umami” and adding a rich aroma. Watch the flames rise behind the counter, while enjoying our signature straw-roasted dishes.

When it comes to “straw-roasting”, we strongly recommend the flame-seared bonito. The bonito, a close relative of the tuna, is only lightly seared allowing you to experience the flavor and aroma of the fresh fish. Straw-roasted pork, lamb and chicken, all Hokkaido-grown, are also highly recommended.
