Why Winter is the Best Season for Sushi in Bangkok

Prepare your palate for these four stars, each representing the pinnacle of seasonal Japanese cuisine.


1. The Gold Standard: Hokkaido Bafun Uni (馬糞海胆)

There is sea urchin, and then there is Hokkaido Bafun Uni. Revered for its smaller size, vibrant deep-orange color, and incredibly concentrated flavor, Bafun Uni is the definition of luxury.

  • Taste Profile: A sweet, briny start that melts into a rich, buttery finish, leaving a creamy, long-lasting sweetness on the tongue.

  • Experience: Served pristine on a bed of warm, seasoned rice, this is a centerpiece of any top-tier Omakase. It's the pure essence of the sea, delivered in a silken texture.

2. The Prized Catch: Seiko Gani (香箱蟹) - A Short-Lived Treasure

The Seiko Gani, or female Snow Crab, is a truly special delicacy due to its incredibly short harvesting season—often just a few weeks between November and January. This scarcity makes it highly coveted.


  • The Difference: Unlike its male counterpart, the Seiko Gani is prized not only for its sweet meat but for its precious cargo: the vibrant orange inner roe (Uchiko) , popping outer eggs (Sotoko).

  • Flavor: The rich, concentrated roe and savory paste blend perfectly with the delicate crab meat, offering a complex symphony of textures and flavors unavailable at any other time of the year.

3. The Connoisseur’s Choice: Seasonal Shirako (白子)

Often referred to as the "White Children," Shirako (cod milt) is a must-try for the adventurous and knowledgeable diner. While it may sound unusual, its flavor and texture are beloved by Japanese food enthusiasts.

  • Texture & Flavor: When gently prepared (perhaps lightly grilled or served in a ponzu sauce), Shirako has a delicate, custard-like texture that is unbelievably soft. The taste is subtle, savory, and incredibly fresh, providing a comforting, unique warmth perfectly suited for a winter meal.

4. The Cornerstone: Premium Bluefin Tuna (本鮪 O-Toro/Chu-Toro)

While Bluefin Tuna ($Hon Maguro$) is available year-round, the quality peaks dramatically in winter. Our selection focuses on the depth of flavor and perfect marbling.

  • O-Toro: The fatty belly cut, known for its extreme marbling that quite literally dissolves on the tongue, leaving behind an intensely rich and clean flavor.

  • Chu-Toro: The medium fatty belly cut, offering the best balance between the firm texture of the lean $Akami$ and the richness of the $O-Toro$.

Securing Your Seat for This Exclusive Omakase Experience

The seasonality that makes these ingredients so exquisite is also what makes them so limited. Our shipments of Hokkaido Uni and especially Seiko Gani are finite, dictated by nature's timeline.

To guarantee you experience the full depth of our winter menu, early reservation is essential.

Seasonal Stars: The Menu That Never Stands Still

A true Edomae menu is a living document, a direct reflection of the current season. This seasonal menu change is not a gimmick; it is a core principle. Nature dictates what is at its peak of flavor and fat content. Chef Tango's expertise lies in selecting these peak-season ingredients and applying the appropriate Edomae technique to elevate them.


  • Spring (Spring): Sayori (Halfbeak), Hokkigai (Surf Clam), new-season Bamboo Shoots.

  • Summer (Summer): Aji (Horse Mackerel), Kohada (Gizzard Shad), Unagi (Freshwater Eel).

  • Autumn/Fall (Autumn): Sanma (Pacific Saury), Sujiko (Fresh Salmon Roe) returning fatty Tuna.

  • Winter (Winter): Buri (Adult Yellowtail), Crab (Zuwai-gani), and warming, rich preparations.


The Omakase Menu: A Seasonal Symphony

Our Omakase is a multi-act performance, typically ranging from 12 to 20 courses, designed to take your palate on a journey. It begins with lighter, delicate flavors, progresses through rich, fatty pieces, and concludes with comforting, classic endings.


12-Course Journey: The Essential Edomae

Our introductory menu is a perfect harmony of classic techniques and prime ingredients. Priced at 2,900 THB, it features the essential tastes of Edomae, including several preparations of seasonal fish, a signature tuna trio, and a hand roll.


16-Course Exploration: The Chef's Selection

For a deeper dive, the 16-course menu (3,900 THB) allows Chef Tango more creative freedom. This is where you'll encounter more premium offerings like Hokkaido Uni, a wider variety of aged fish, and perhaps a seasonal delicacy like Ishigakigai (Stone Mantle Clam).


20-Course Masterpiece: The Pinnacle Experience

Our most extensive offering (6,900 THB) is designed for the connoisseur. It showcases the absolute best ingredients available that day, including the highest-grade Otoro, rare finds from the market, and an extended progression that allows you to appreciate the subtle nuances of Chef Tango's craft.


Beyond the Fish: The Art of Shari (Vinegar Rice)

An often overlooked but critically important element of Edomae sushi is the Shari (シャリ), or vinegared rice. It is not merely a base; it is the soulful counterpoint to the neta. Chef Tango's shari is a masterpiece in itself. He uses a blend of premium Japanese short-grain rice, seasoned with a custom blend of red vinegar (akazu), which lends a complex, slightly woody and umami-rich depth, salt, and a touch of sugar.


The temperature of the rice is meticulously controlled, and each grain is perfectly distinct yet cohesive. The balance of acidity and sweetness is designed to cleanse the palate and enhance, never overpower, the flavor of the fish.
