Endo's Business Card

This signature roll of tuna is wrapped in 'very delicate seaweed from Tokyo' and is described by critics as a 'lovely bite' that showcases the chef's precision with rice served at the 'correct body temperature.'

Hungry

A4 Wagyu Beef

Served as a 'rich, savory climax' to the 18-20 course omakase, it is a staple 'to finish' the meal for those seeking a substantial, indulgent end to the seafood-heavy sequence.

Wildcard

Koji Rice Soufflé

A 'distinctively light and unique' Japanese-style soufflé that bridges the gap between traditional Japanese flavors and modern technique, often cited as a highlight of the dessert service.

Wildcard

Lobster Chawanmushi with Crisp Lotus Leaf

A savory steamed egg custard praised for its 'textural contrast,' combining sweet, tender lobster with a crunchy lotus leaf garnish to create a complex, smooth experience.
