Maguro-ju is a premium Japanese dish featuring high-quality bluefin tuna served over a bed of seasoned rice in a traditional lacquerware box (ju-bako).

What makes our Maguro-ju truly special is the pedigree of the fish. We source our tuna directly from Yamayuki, the legendary tuna wholesaler at Tokyo's Toyosu Market. Known as the absolute best in the industry, Yamayuki supplies the world's finest Michelin-starred sushi restaurants. You can enjoy the incredible depth of flavor, perfect fat distribution, and melting texture that only world-class tuna can offer.

* Quick Guide to Zen Etiquette (Zazen)

Zazen is not just "relaxation"—it is a practice of discipline and mindfulness. To respect the monks and other practitioners:

Dress Code: Wear loose-fitting, comfortable pants.Dark or neutral colors are preferred.

Footwear: Remove your shoes and socks before entering the hall. Zazen is practiced barefoot.

The Power of Silence: Enter the Kojirin (meditation hall) in total silence. Avoid whispering or using your phone (keep it off or on silent).

The Bow (Gassho): When entering the hall and before/after sitting on your cushion (zafu), perform a deep bow with your palms together to show respect to the space and your fellow practitioners.

The Kyosaku (The Awakening Stick): During the session, a monk may walk around with a wooden stick. If they tap your shoulder, it is not a "punishment" but a gesture to help you regain focus or relieve muscle tension. Simply bow before and after receiving the tap.
