OUR COMMITMENT

A tuna & seafood rice bowl restaurant just 3 minutes from Kintetsu-Nara Station, close to Kofuku-ji Temple and the Higashimuki shopping street.
Enjoy fresh, never-frozen bluefin tuna for lunch while sightseeing in Nara.

Frozen-and-thawed tuna compared with fresh, never-frozen tuna 01

Never frozen — truly fresh

Because our tuna is never frozen and thawed, it stays moist and tender,
with the full aroma and flavor of bluefin.
