Steamed Abalone with Liver Sauce
Sushi YoshitakeGinza·$$$$
¥66500.00
Tender steamed abalone served with an remarkably rich and creamy liver-based sauce.
Tip: Don't finish the liver sauce too quickly! The chef will give you a small bite of 'shari' (rice) specifically to mop up the remaining sauce at the end. It's the most decadent bite of the meal.

Abalone in Liver Sauce with Duck Loin
Ginza ShinoharaGinza·$$$$
¥35000.00
Tender steamed abalone and grilled duck loin served with a rich, creamy liver-based emulsion.
Tip: This is non-negotiable! The liver sauce is remarkably rich and perfectly complements the fatty duck. Try the first bite with just a touch of the provided salt to highlight the sweetness of the black pork (wait, abalone!).
