Dishes

  • Shrimp Nigiri

    Nigiri

    Botan ebi or ama ebi depending on season. Jiro's shrimp preparation — lightly blanched, never raw — is the counter-argument to the raw-everything school of sushi.

  • Otoro Nigiri

    Nigiri

    Fatty tuna from the tuna's belly. Cut immediately before service, pressed onto vinegared rice at precisely the right temperature. The most technically demanding piece at the counter.
