Sashimi of fresh seafood bought by the owner himself at auction

Cuisine

Freshly Caught

Truly fresh-caught:
a feast of select seafood

The local ports, blessed with rich fishing grounds, land large quantities of fish and shellfish caught in nearby waters every day. Enjoy dishes generously featuring fresh seafood that the owner buys himself at auction. Our menus incorporate seasonal local ingredients and change with the seasons; spring, summer, autumn or winter, savour a different bounty of the Boso sea with every visit.
For breakfast, enjoy a carefully selected seasonal Japanese breakfast featuring fragrant, richly flavoured Nagasa rice.

Our Secret

The secret of our sashimi

The finest fishing grounds

The Kyonan coast, where Kinokuniya is located, is an exceptional fishing ground where the Kuroshio Current mixes with nutrient-rich water from Tokyo Bay, landing a wide variety of high-quality fish all year round.

How the fish are landed

For our sashimi we use only local fish landed by the fixed nets of Katsuyama and Hota. Fish caught in fixed nets have few blemishes and are exceptionally lively.

Hand-picking the best fish

Because the owner holds bidding rights at the fishing port, he can judge the fish on the quayside and buy the freshest catch directly. Buying is the owner's own job: every morning he targets only the finest fish for that day's dishes, which makes a dramatic difference to quality and freshness.
