Chef Recommendations

Executive Chef Daisuke Kataoka on Roast Beef:

"The roast beef, made from domestic beef, is slow-roasted for five hours, achieving a tender, moist texture through sous-vide cooking. It pairs wonderfully with our signature soy-based sauce."

Chinese Cuisine Chef Ohtaka Mitsuru on Snow Crab Claw Fried in Shrimp Coating:

"We combine generous amounts of snow crab claws with a homemade shrimp paste, coat them in sesame seeds, and fry them to perfection. Enjoy this rich and satisfying dish!"
