The Art of Provenance: Exploring Nagasaki Tuna, Aomori Ankimo, and the Soul of Yorokobu

  • 1 day ago
  • 5 min read

In the world of Omakase in Bangkok, the difference between a meal and a masterpiece lies in the origin of the ingredients.


At Sushi Yorokobu BKK, our 12-seat counter in Thonglor serves as a bridge to Japan’s most celebrated waters. This season, we are proud to spotlight three ingredients that define the pinnacle of Japanese culinary heritage: Nagasaki Bluefin Tuna, Aomori Ankimo, and our signature Awabi.


A trio of premium Omakase dishes at Sushi Yorokobu BKK: A slice of marbled Nagasaki Chutoro, a serving of creamy Aomori Ankimo (Monkfish Liver), and tender slow-cooked Awabi (Abalone) with its rich, dark liver sauce. The ingredients are beautifully plated on artisanal ceramic, set against the warm wooden tones of our Thonglor counter.
Provenance is Everything. Savor the clean umami of Nagasaki Bluefin Tuna and the decadent creaminess of Aomori Ankimo. A curated 19-course journey awaits at our 12-seat sanctuary in Thonglor.

The King of the Deep: Nagasaki Bluefin Tuna

While many regions produce tuna, the waters off the coast of Nagasaki are legendary among sushi masters. The tuna sourced here is prized for its clean, profound umami and a marbling that is both intricate and delicate.


At Yorokobu, we treat this "King of Fish" with the reverence it deserves. Whether presented as a lean, ruby-red Akami or a decadent, buttery Chutoro, the Nagasaki Bluefin provides a texture that evolves on the palate—a signature experience for any guest seeking the ultimate high-end Japanese cuisine in Thonglor.


A high-definition collage of premium Omakase ingredients at Sushi Yorokobu BKK: a glistening slice of Nagasaki Bluefin Tuna (Otoro), a generous serving of bright Hokkaido Sea Urchin (Uni), tender sliced Awabi (Abalone) drizzled with dark liver sauce, and a perfectly prepared Kuruma Ebi. The background shows the elegant, minimalist wooden counter of our Thonglor restaurant.
The Quartet of Excellence. From the rich, marbled depth of Nagasaki Bluefin Tuna to the golden luxury of Hokkaido Uni and the earthy complexity of our Awabi with Liver Sauce, experience a 19-course journey where every ingredient is a masterpiece of the season.


The Foie Gras of the Sea: Aomori Ankimo

True connoisseurs look forward to the arrival of Ankimo, or Monkfish Liver. We source ours exclusively from the cold, nutrient-rich depths of Aomori, where the water temperature ensures the liver develops a rich, high-fat content.


Often referred to as the "Foie Gras of the Sea," our Aomori Ankimo is meticulously cleaned and steamed to achieve a velvety, melt-in-your-mouth consistency. It is a dish of pure indulgence—creamy, savory, and balanced with a hint of acidity that perfectly captures the essence of Japanese winter-to-summer transitions.



A Study in Tenderness: Slow-Cooked Awabi

Completing this trio of excellence is our Awabi (Abalone). At Sushi Yorokobu, the preparation of abalone is a slow-motion dance of heat and time. We slow-cook each piece for several hours until the muscle fibers transform into a tender, succulent delicacy.


The experience is elevated by our artisanal Liver Sauce, a dark, rich reduction made from the abalone’s own essence. This dish represents the core philosophy of our counter: taking a singular, premium ingredient and using time-honored techniques to amplify its natural soul.


Your Front-Row Seat to the Season

With only 12 seats available at our minimalist wooden counter, every guest at Sushi Yorokobu BKK is guaranteed an intimate view of this craftsmanship.
