Striped Horse Mackerel

Striped Jack

A summer treasure of the Goto Sea
June to early autumn

The Goto Sea, where warm and cold currents converge. Wild-caught striped horse mackerel, raised in these complex currents, is prized for its firm texture and clean, refined umami. While most of what is distributed is farm-raised, truly wild fish is exceedingly rare. Nurtured by Goto’s abundant seas, this flavor is a seasonal gift you can only encounter by visiting this place.

Longtooth Grouper

Longtooth Grouper (Ara)

A rare and premium fish
Available year-round *Recommended from September to February

The “longtooth grouper”, a rare fish that is seldom caught. Locally known as “Ara”. It inhabits complex rocky reefs and is said to live for several decades. Weighing over 10 kg, sometimes even exceeding 40 kg, it’s more like premium “meat” than fish. Pufferfish and sea bream can’t compare. By purchasing whole fish, we can offer you a variety of rare cuts to enjoy without waste.

Ise Lobster

Japanese Spiny Lobster

The king of Japan’s finest fishing grounds
Available from late August to mid-May

The Japanese spiny lobsters caught in Goto are proudly known for their impressive size, with some weighing over 1 kg. This size is 3 to 5 times larger than typical lobsters, making them truly exceptional. The complex and swift currents nurtured by the numerous islands cultivate these exquisite, meaty lobsters. At ray dining, we offer only the finest hand-selected wild-caught specimens.

Red-spotted Grouper

Red-spotted Grouper

Red jewel of the tropics
July to September

The grouper lives in the special environment of underwater rocky areas and coral reefs. This fish, also called “Akajin Mībai” in tropical waters, has been served at celebratory occasions. Adult fish reach over 10kg with their magnificent presence. The thick flesh, which cannot be experienced with ordinary white fish, contains concentrated overwhelming umami and elegant sweetness.

Beef

Goto Beef

Rare beef not found in markets
Year-round

Goto beef is premium Japanese Black cattle raised in the pleasant sea breeze and refreshing climate of Goto. It has a good balance of lean and fat, with beautiful marbling.
Due to the limited number of cattle and many direct buyers, it’s never distributed to markets. Through low-temperature roasting and other methods, you can fully savor the meat’s inherent umami.
【Note】Due to its rarity, procurement can be difficult. If unavailable, we may serve other premium Nagasaki beef. We appreciate your understanding.
