A la carte dishes of Yakushima
Fresh fish and shellfish caught on Yakushima Island, surrounded by the sea, are available.
Some items cannot be prepared on the day of your order, so please place your order in advance if you have any requests. Please note that items that require fresh ingredients, such as sashimi, may not be prepared on the same day depending on the fishing conditions.
Sashimi of broken-necked mackerel/ Sashimi of flying fish
To keep the fish fresh, the neck of the mackerel is broken immediately after landing to remove the blood, and the flying fish, a specialty of Yakushima Island, which has the largest catch in Japan, is made into sashimi so that the freshness of the fish can be appreciated.
Broken-neck mackerel: 1,600 yen per person Flying fish: 1,300 yen per person
simmered tokobushi
Tokobushi, which looks like abalone, is often caught on Yakushima Island. The rich taste of the sea and the sweetness of tokobushi are stewed in a sweet and spicy sauce to make a dish that goes well with sake.
Deep-fried kama (fish cakes)
The waters around the island are strongly influenced by the warm currents of the Kuroshio Current and are a treasure trove of kanpachi, which prefer high water temperatures. The kama of kanpachi, with its thick meat, elegant texture, and full of fatty flavor, is deep fried. It can also be grilled with salt.
Sashimi of mizu-ika
The highest quality bluefin squid, the king of squid, is called mizu-ika in Yakushima. The soft and sweet squid is served as sashimi. It is rich in minerals and low in calories, and is popular among women for its skin beautifying effects.
miso soup with rice bran pickled or salted vegetables (e.g. carrots, daikon or potatoes) and eggs
A rare shellfish called "percebe" is one of the most expensive foods in Spain. In Japan, it is called "tortoise's hand" because it resembles the handprint of a tortoise. Miso soup made with the broth full of the aroma of the seashore has a rich and gentle flavor.
Kuroge Wagyu Beef Tosa-zukuri
The surface of the black Japanese beef*, raised with the blessings of nature on Yakushima, is seared and cooked, then cooled and cut into thin slices and served with plenty of condiments and vegetables.
*Some beef may be from Kagoshima depending on the situation on the day of the dish.
