【Kappo Sushi Katsura Geku】Enjoy exquisite dishes made with Mie ingredients

Keep an eye out for the new specialty! Affordable lunches featuring plenty of Ise-Shima ingredients

Various lunch options are available during the daytime, allowing you to fully enjoy the bounty of the sea. The Katsura-style Tekone Sushi (1,750 yen), made with tuna and sea bream, is a popular local dish in Ise-Shima that features a special soy sauce that enhances the flavor of the tuna. The dish is prepared by simmering soy sauce with ginger and sugar, which is then cooled and used to marinate the fresh fish, bringing out its delicious flavor. The rice is sweet Iga rice from Mie Prefecture.

The Mike Don (1,850 yen) is a new specialty featuring Ise tuna from Mie, as well as sea bream, squid, and salmon sprinkled on top. This dish allows you to enjoy seasonal fish according to the time of year. “Mike” means “precious food,” and it was created to convey the importance of food and gratitude for it from the gods of the Outer Shrine, who are the gods of food. Only those dishes that meet various conditions, such as using Mie Prefecture rice and Ise-Shima ingredients, can be called Mike Don.

Kappo Sushi Katsura Geku’s Mike Don uses Ise rice (Koshihikari) from Mie Prefecture for the sushi rice, flavored with a special sushi vinegar that is infused with kelp flavor. Also, the luxurious Matsusaka Beef Nigiri Gozen (2,420 yen) set includes Matsusaka beef nigiri sushi and Matsusaka beef shigure roll.
