If you enjoy dining at conveyor belt sushi restaurants when you're in Japan, you've surely heard of Kurazushi. One of Japan's most famous sushi chains with over 450 locations, they even have stores in Taiwan and the United States.

From March 12th to 18th, sushi lovers will have a special opportunity to enjoy a rare luxury fish at a very reasonable price, along with medium fatty tuna for only 100 JPY a plate.


This is the third time this year that Kurazushi is offering natural longtooth grouper (Epinephelus bruneus), known in Japanese as クエ kue, which is carefully selected exclusively from the Kyushu region, weighs 10 kg or more, and is sometimes sold for over 10,000 yen per kg.

For this special campaign, in addition to the "Exquisite Longtooth Grouper Nigiri," which allows you to fully enjoy this fish with its firm flesh and superb fat, there are two other types of preparations: The "Exquisite Longtooth Grouper Shio Aburi" brings out the flavor of the fish by sprinkling it with salt and then searing it to enhance its fragrant aroma and fatty flavor. The "Exquisite Longtooth Grouper Tempura Nigiri," with its crispy batter and fluffy meat. This is a luxurious way to compare and contrast preparations of this luxury fish.

The campaign will also feature Kurazushi's popular "Premium Aged Medium Fatty Tuna." Using high-quality tuna such as southern bluefin tuna, Kurazushi carefully selects a section of the fish from the skin to a depth of 4 cm, which is prized for its high-fat content. Then, Kurazushi's unique aging technology is used to bring out even more flavor. For a limited time only, you can enjoy it at a very reasonable price of 100 JPY (excluding tax).
