(left) Salmon Sashimi ~$5.25 per order
(right) Spicy Salmon Handroll $3.99

Hobo (sashimi + soup) $46
..dunno what kind of fish it was so i did some research online..
it said Hobo is 魴鯡 Gurnard.. & it's a seasonal fish.. Hobo will usually be served in the weaning ceremony 「箸初め」(Hashizome) in Japan.. it has a very light flavor.. but the fish soup was great..


Grilled Salmon Belly $5.99

Hamachi Kama $13.99

Vegetable Tempura $4.99
