Araki-san's Grilled Yellowtail Shabu

On November 18, 2025, the four Okaka restaurants in Tokyo, managed by Brand Bank Company, will unveil a special winter menu featuring "Araki-san's Grilled Yellowtail Shabu" and "Grilled Yellowtail & Oyster Shabu." This seasonal offering promises to be a delightful choice for food enthusiasts looking to indulge in luxurious flavors.

The Star: Araki-san's Yellowtail

Araki-san's Yellowtail is nurtured in the rich waters of Sukumo Bay, where the ocean currents from the Kuroshio ensure a stress-free environment for growth. The fish is fed a unique diet that includes sugar cane extract, enhancing its flavor while minimizing discoloration and odor. The result is a refined taste profile that makes it a brand favorite. The “grilled yellowtail” is prepared immediately after being caught, roasted with straw for an aromatic finish. The tender flesh and crispy skin create a harmonious blend of flavors, making it an ideal winter delicacy.

As diners dip the grilled yellowtail into Okaka's signature broth, the incomparable umami and rich aroma of the fish infuses the broth, creating a culinary experience that is both comforting and indulgent. To take this dish a step further, the "Grilled Yellowtail & Oyster Shabu" variant includes oysters, further elevating the ocean's flavors.

Okaka: The Heart of the Experience

The name "Okaka" is derived from the craftsmanship of katsuobushi, where specially selected dried bonito is shaved to a delicate thickness of 0.01mm. The influence of freshly shaved bonito enhances the natural flavors of their broth, making both the dining environment and the food an experience to remember. Known for its additive-free approach, Okaka provides a wholesome experience where each customer can truly appreciate the natural essence of Japanese ingredients.

Okaka's menu varies but always features standout options like Kagoshima-raised pork shabu, offering a selection of regional specialties that complements their focus on seasonal ingredients.
