Seven Pillars of Japanese Mastery
Each chosen by hand. Each with a story worth telling.
和牛 · Miyazaki & Kagoshima
A5 Wagyu Beef
Marbling, graded and traced.
The pinnacle of Japanese beef. We source A5-graded wagyu from farms in Miyazaki and Kagoshima, in southern Kyushu, where cattle are raised with natural spring water, carefully blended feed and a calm, low-stress routine. Every animal carries Japan's 10-digit individual identification number, so each cut can be traced back to the farm.

有明海苔 · Ariake Sea, Kyushu
Ariake Nori
The first harvest of the Ariake Sea.
In the Ariake Sea, wide tides and river-fed brackish water make one of Japan's most prized nori grounds. First-harvest nori (ichiban-tsumi) from these waters is jet-black and thin, and breaks with a clean snap. The umami runs deep and the aroma is of the open sea.
- OriginAriake Sea, Kyushu
- HarvestFirst harvest (ichiban-tsumi)
- ProcessingProcessed on the day of harvest
- FormatsYaki-nori (toasted), ajitsuke-nori (seasoned) and gift sets

Dried Shiitake

Oita Prefecture is Japan's largest producer of dried shiitake. Our mushrooms are grown on natural oak logs in mountain forests, harvested while the caps are still thick and tightly curled, then dried to concentrate their umami.
