Spring brings us one of BC’s most celebrated ingredients – Spot Prawns. This year we will be offering a special Spot Prawn Omakase dinner at the restaurant and also a Spot Prawn Kit to be enjoyed at home. Our dining room will be reopening June 1, and the Spot Prawn offerings will be available June 5. Spot Prawn Omakase This dine-in only experience will feature a half-pound of Spot Prawns with special Tojo’s sauce. Delicate and sweet, the prawns are well-suited for nigiri, so I have also chosen to prepare them this way. My much-loved Zucchini Blossom Tempura will also be featured, here a local blossom is filled with a delicate fish mousse and lightly fried, tempura style. Diners may enjoy this offering for $80 per person, the same price as our regular omakase menu. Hope to see you all soon!
