Direct from Japan’s Renowned Fish Markets
The journey begins in the prestigious fish markets of Japan, such as Tsukiji (now Toyosu Market) and other regional markets known for their premium seafood. These markets are globally recognized for their commitment to offering only the highest quality, freshest catches. The seafood is carefully selected based on strict standards of freshness, sustainability, and seasonality.
