Styles of cuisine to which our services apply

Kaiseki

Kaiseki

Appetizers, soups, sashimi, broiled dishes, boiled dishes, side dishes, flavored rice, and fruit in carefully designed courses, Kaiseiki is the most classic way in Japanese cuisine to show hospitality and entertain guests.

Sushi

Sushi

This traditional Japanese style of cuisine, in which bite-sized portions of vinegar-flavored rice are topped with raw tuna and other fish has now become popular throughout the world. So-called "conveyor belt sushi" bars have become the norm outside of Japan, but that is merely the fast-food form of this cuisine. At “orthodox” sushi restaurants, a sushi chef prepares pieces of sushi by hand one by one to order, right then and there, and hands them to the customer.
With the "conveyor belt” style, where the chefs prepare dishes according to the numbers and demographics of customers as well as overheard conversations, a typical sushi dish might cost around one hundred yen, but at a proper sushi restaurant, it is common for a single piece of sushi to run anywhere from roughly 300 to 2,000 yen.

Rice Bowl

Rice Bowl

This is a quick, easy and inexpensive meal, popular in Japan with everyone from students to office workers, consists of just beef, tempura or other topping on a bowl of rice. It has long been the Japanese equivalent of “fast food”.
It is generally considered the most accessible meal for people who are extremely busy or who are on a tight budget.
\250 - \1,500

Sukiyaki

Sukiyaki

Sukiyaki is a beef dish unique to Japan which evolved when the custom of eating beef gradually spread through the country after being introduced from the West in the late Edo period. Thinly sliced beef is complemented with green onions and tofu and flavored with soy sauce and sugar. Among the repertoire of Japanese home-cooked meals, sukiyaki is traditionally on the somewhat extravagant side.

Soba

Soba

Soba noodles are made by kneading and hand-slicing dough made from buckwheat flour into noodle form and served with a specially-made noodle broth. There are two main serving styles: a cold style, in which one dips the noodles from a bamboo strainer into a cold broth, and a hot style, in which the noodles are served hot in a bowl of broth. There is also the tempura soba combination, popular with both styles. The former often enjoyed as a cool, refreshing meal during gruelingly hot summer days, while the latter is preferred in winter to warm the body.
\800 - \1,500 [ per person ]

Udon

Udon

Udon noodles are made by kneading and hand-slicing dough made from wheat flour. The noodles are served with a special broth. And like soba noodles, there is a cold serving style where one dips the noodles from a strainer into a cold broth, and a hot style served in the same bowl as hot broth. Udon noodle meals and shops where customers can choose from of a variety of tempura and other toppings are currently enjoying an unprecedented level of attention among food/cuisine watchers.
\800 - \1,500 [ per person ]

Tofu

Tofu

Tofu is made by solidifying soy milk, which is produced by pressing soybeans. To this day, tofu-based cuisine is popular in Japan as “diet food” because of tofu’s low-fat, high-protein properties. In fact, it is considered a must among professional athletes and the elderly alike.

Okonomiyaki

Okonomiyaki

Okonomiyaki is made by first mixing together a batter of wheat flour, water, eggs, and cabbage. Pork, seafood and other ingredients are added in the batter, which is grilled on a steel pan or plate. Not unlike barbeque, okonomiyaki is a cooked at the center of a family or group of people while they enjoy each other’s company and conversation, and perhaps for this reason is traditionally associated with the working and merchant classes.

Other

Other

Takoyaki is made by first pouring a batter of wheat flour, water, eggs, and cabbage into a specially shaped iron mold of bite-sized round hemispheres. Small pieces of octopus are then added. The pieces are then rotated to round out the shape, after which sauces, seaweed flakes, or other toppings are added. Different variations, such as “deep fried takoyaki”, have recently gained popularity.
Takoyaki is a dish at Expo 2010 Shanghai, where it has gained a following among fans of Japanese cuisine.
