The most famous and prized seafood ingredient
from Chiba is the spiny lobster, locally known as the Boshu lobster.
This has to be served as sashimi for you to fully enjoy
the intense melt-in-your-mouth flavor.
The only luxury ingredient to rival spiny lobster is abalone Raised
in the Kuroshio Current, the umami is exceptional.
They can be enjoyed as gently cooked, tender steaks,
or even cooked alive—a local specialty.
One of the seafood specialties of the region is onigarayaki,
lobster grilled in its shell, a cooking method which really brings out
the aroma of the grill and the delicious flavor of the lobster.
This is our number one recommendation for spiny lobster.

watching extravagant seafood being cooked in front of your eyes.
The start of a somewhat special culinary experience.
