Aomori City, the northernmost major city of Honshu, is one of the rare places in the world where seafood from four different seas—the Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Japan, the Tsugaru Strait, and Mutsu Bay—comes together. This exclusive sushi counter experience is limited to one group only and includes a translator for your comfort. Adding to its rarity, the restaurant specially opens during lunchtime, a time when it is usually closed, just for your private experience. At the counter, you will savor an omakase course prepared with seasonal seafood. While the selection is centered on the local bounty of Aomori’s four seas, the chef also meticulously selects the finest ingredients from across Japan and the world on any given day to ensure the highest quality experience. This showcases the true craftsmanship and hospitality of Japanese sushi culture. More than a meal, this is a high-value cultural journey in Tohoku, and an unforgettable highlight of your visit to Japan.
