Red sea bream (madai) is a fish synonymous with celebration in Japan. In Fukuoka—home to Itoshima, one of Japan’s leading regions for wild red sea bream landings—it stands alongside yellowtail as a staple of the New Year’s table. For this fair, a limited-time special menu featuring madai has been created exclusively. Made with fresh red sea bream and plenty of vegetables, the dish is simply finished with butter and salt. By avoiding excessive seasoning, it allows the delicate flavor and rich umami—hallmarks of madai—to truly shine. Once you start eating, you won’t be able to put your chopsticks down.
Okonomiyaki made with a batter richly flavored with a special house dashi is a customer favorite. The key to its distinctive taste is the restaurant’s original sauce, continuously replenished and used since its founding. Loved by locals and highly popular with international visitors alike.
