Cut and cook.

Kappo, the Japanese word for this kind of cooking, joins two characters: 割, to cut, and 烹, to cook with fire and water. Everything at Ichimiya comes down to these two.

Kappo

  • To cut

    Cutting shows a fish exactly as it is, which is why the taisho, the chef who runs the kitchen, chooses every fish himself.

  • To cook

    Simmering is where the dashi, the stock Japanese cooking starts from, does the talking, which is why it is made every day.

Dashi, the stock Japanese cooking starts from, is made with care every day. It is the base of the obanzai, small home-style dishes, and of everything seasonal: simmered, grilled, fried. Food made to go with a drink, with no corners cut.

The menu

  • Sashimi tsukuri

    Fish the taisho has chosen himself. The assortment carries eight kinds.

  • Grilled yakimono

    Fish grilled with salt, and whatever the season brings to the grill.

  • Simmered nimono

    Vegetables simmered in dashi, and fish braised in a sweet soy broth.

  • Fried agemono

    Tempura and karaage, straight from the oil.

  • Vinegared sunomono

    Something sharp, to refresh the palate.

  • Obanzai

    Small home-style dishes built on the day's dashi.

  • Sake snacks shuko

    Small bites to go with a drink.

  • To finish shime

    Rice, noodles, or zosui.

You'll find the day's menu in the shop.
