With its striking crimson skin and melt-in-the-mouth richness, "Kichiji " - one of Japan’s most treasured winter delicacies - makes its debut at Urawa with a limited-time "Kichiji Series", bringing the true taste of Japanese winter to the table.
Sourced fresh from Japan’s Toyosu Market, Kichiji is often hailed as the "Ruby of the Sea" - a rare premium deep-sea fish prized for its vibrant color, delicate texture, and exceptionally rich natural fat. At Urawa, this seasonal delicacy is prepared using two classic techniques that best showcase its original flavor, allowing you to fully appreciate the essence of authentic Japanese seasonal cuisine.
Kichiji Sashimi
It presents the fish in its purest form. With precise knife work, each slice is cut to the ideal thickness so the natural sweetness and refined oiliness gently melt on the palate, revealing a subtle ocean aroma that invites slow, mindful enjoyment.
Salt-grilled Kichiji
Seasoned simply with salt to draw out its rich oils and collagen. Lightly aromatic on the outside while remaining moist and tender within, it delivers the perfect balance of savory depth and natural sweetness - a timeless and highly revered Japanese preparation.
Kichiji is produced in very limited quantities and is available daily while stocks last. Advance reservations are highly recommended. Visit Urawa and savor this rare, premium taste of Japanese winter!
