Our signature Tsukune isn’t any ordinary chicken-pork meatball. Honed by Chef Takeshi over decades of master-level grilling, it balances a deeply savory, textured interior with a glossy glaze that caramelizes over 1000-degree binchōtan.
With our shift to a full à la carte menu, you no longer have to wait for a set course to experience it. Order one, order three—pair it with a crisp highball in the lounge or watch it hit the fire right from the counter.
Simple on the plate, obsessive in the ex*****on.

Your evening, curated by you.
One of the best parts of our new à la carte era is the freedom to build a spread that matches your mood. Whether you’re stopping by for a light, breezy bite or settling in for the full Hokkaido experience, here are three ways to play it:
1. The "Spontaneous Social"
Perfect for the lounge. Start with charred Edamame and Shish*to, followed by a flight of our signature skewers (Mille Feuille is a must) and a refreshing Kyuri cocktail.
2. The "Hokkaido Heritage"
For those craving the classics. Dive into our A5 Wagyu Tartare and grilled Hokkaido Scallops, anchored by the Seasonal Seafood Donabe and a glass of Aramasa.
3. The "Comfort & Craft"
The ultimate weekday reset. Grab a seat at the counter for our silky Oyakodon or Ramen, paired with the buttery Miso Tiramisu for a sweet finish.
No matter the spread, Chef Takeshi’s 25 years of mastery remains the secret ingredient in every dish.

Hokkaido’s finest has arrived at the grill. This seasonal salmon—prized for its delicate texture and rich, clean finish—is handled with the same sushi-grade precision Chef Takeshi honed decades ago.
Currently, this premium catch is reserved exclusively for our Seasonal Seafood Donabe. 🍲
Steamed to perfection in traditional claypots, the oils from the salmon meld with the rice to create a depth of flavor that is as comforting as it is luxurious. It is the ultimate centerpiece for your A La Carte spread.
Limited Availability: As with all seasonal produce, this is only here while the harvest lasts. Experience it before the season turns.

A moment from the evening — quiet, grounded, and deeply expressive.
Grilled wagyu rested on magnolia leaf, accompanied by seasonal vegetables and finished with a rich yuzu hatcho miso butter — a course shaped to meet the quiet complexity of Aramasa's "Ash".
A pairing that lingered, long after the last pour.
