Enjoy exquisite umami with our seasonal fuku menu, beginning on January 16. We’re calling it “fuku” instead of “fugu” because it sounds pleasant with a meaning of happiness. The picture is one of the dishes on the menu, charcoal-grilled fuku shirako with Kyoto sweet white miso.

We are proud to serve akagai, ark shell clams, from Usa City. They are extraordinary plump, juicy and naturally sweet. We are serving these special clams as sashimi, prepared with fine cuts across the surface and spritzed with the fragrant Japanese citrus, sudachi.

Fish caught in Western Japan become even more flavorful in the winter. The textures also transform, which is true of guji, or amadai. The fish is almost impossibly soft yet firm, and is not to be missed. We are also serving “shinjo”, a Japanese-style crab cake, made almost exclusively from rich crab meat.

Scarlet bars of binchotan charcoal are stacked in the sunken hearth. They warm the Irori room steadily on a night as cold as they come in Kyoto. By the end of a long, delicious evening the draft from a high window cracked open is welcome. It raises a whirl of papery scales from the white charcoal that flutter in the glow of the light overhead like a soft snow flurry.

Kue’s flesh is very rigid right after it has been caught, so we age it for two weeks to allow the muscle fibers to relax into a pleasantly firm texture. It is rich in umami and relatively lean, so we take utmost care in preparation. Grilled over charcoal, the skin becomes crisp while the inside remains rare, creating a brilliant contrast of textures.
