Confidence in Ingredients and Preparation

At our restaurant, we take great pride in using top-quality ingredients and putting in the time and care needed for preparation. We never use frozen or farmed fish, only fresh, wild-caught ones. The difference in aroma and flavor is unmistakable.

When the fish is fresh, we serve it as sashimi to highlight its texture, and once it matures slightly and develops its rich flavors, we offer it as sushi. This attention to detail in preparing fresh fish is what makes our dishes stand out. Only a few times a year, we get Tuna from Oma in Aomori prefecture, what we have today is not from Oma but really is a fresh bluefin tuna.

We are equally particular about vegetables, focusing on seasonal and flavorful produce. Every day, we source the best ingredients available at the market.

Because We Are Locals, We Can't Serve Just Any Shirasu

Truly delicious, fresh shirasu has a remarkable crunch, with each one standing out. However, due to the difficulty of maintaining that freshness, we don't list it on the menu.

Many of our regular customers are well-versed in shirasu, making it even more challenging to serve. That said, there are rare occasions when we can offer it, and if that happens, we hope you'll enjoy the shirasu from Mochimune.

How to Enjoy Hirono area

Right in front of us is Mochimune Fishing Port, and you can see Mount Fuji from just about anywhere, making a leisurely stroll a delightful experience.

Hirono is also famous for its peaches, with fields stretching from right in front of our restaurant to the mouth of the Abe River. In spring, the peach blossoms are stunningly beautiful. Between the fields and the coast is Hirono Coast Park, which is popular with families and children.

The locals are generally very friendly, so you can enjoy interacting with regulars from our restaurant and other community members.
