Started closely from preparation. (President Nishimura) In the morning, you know, I had to prepare the lunches, I started by making lunch boxes, over there, processing fresh fish, while preparing for sales, The other side prepares the products to be put in front of the customers. We work in parallel in three blocks. Processing fish for sashimi. Flathead bream. It's fatty this time of year, isn't it? It's an easy fish to use. (Staff) Are the fish caught locally? Most of it is local. Sumagatsuo. President Nishimura also stands in the kitchen. First bonito. This is the first bonito. (Staff) How is it different from smelt? Sumagatsuo has this kind of mackerel-like pattern. Smugatsuo basically has to be new to eat. This fish is prone to food poisoning. So freshness is very important, As a reason, They're this greasy all year round. This fat is easily oxidized. Shall we also process bonito? This one has a thin layer of fat, right? The richness of flavor is also different. This one is less likely to cause food poisoning. This one (smatsuo) loses its freshness quickly, I feel like I have to consume it in a day. (Staff) Is this one (tail-head) going to be used for anything? This one is used for the figure of the fish to make it look luxurious. You can't help but think, "Oh, my God! You'll be like, "Oh, my God! Then, preparing the lunch box. Preparation of hamburger sauce. Homemade hamburger sauce. Making omelet for lunch. Bake half-boiled, breaking up.

I'm the one who decides how to allocate the fish. Loading fish into each store. Lunch boxes are also loaded for delivery. Making katsuo tataki (bonito tataki). Salt is sprinkled on half of dried bonito. Rough salt. Seared bonito using pine needles from Tanezaki Senmatsu Park near the restaurant. I think there is often straw-roasted tataki, but we roast it with pine needles. The aroma of the pine needles gives the tataki a unique and savory flavor. Pine needles containing pine resin are easy to ignite and produce a strong flame. The bonito's flavor is locked up inside by grilling the outside of the bonito at once. Phew, it's hot. There's a yellow smoke at the end. And once that's on, you know, the taste becomes astringent. I only want the fragrant part of the pine needles, so I only want the flame. Bonito tataki is completed. I was given a special taste of freshly seared bonito. Please try it!
Try it. Serve with yuzu vinegar and garlic. A gem with slight aroma of pine needles with no smell at all. Cut condiments. Garlic is indispensable for bonito tataki. Green onion.
