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

The ultimate thick-fleshed fish
Available from August to October

The red-spotted grouper is a rare white-fleshed fish that inhabits rocky areas and deep waters. Adult fish can grow to over 10 kg, and its thickness and concentrated umami offer a presence unmatched by other white-fleshed fish. By sourcing the whole fish, we deliver the delicate flavors of the entire fish, including parts not usually available, without waste.

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.
