Fresh Scallop Sashimi Direct from Aomori — Melting Sweetness and the Scent of the Sea

Ou Banquet scallop sashimi



Ou Banquet's "Scallop Sashimi" uses ultra-fresh scallops shipped directly from the seas of Aomori.
The moment you take a bite, a melting sweetness and the scent of the shore spread across your palate.
A dish that lets the ingredient speak — truly a feast of the sea.


Superb scallops raised in Aomori's waters


Aomori is one of Japan's leading scallop-producing regions.
Raised in cold currents rich in nutrients, the scallops grow thick and full of umami.
Ou Banquet sources the freshest of these directly from the fishing port.


That is why you can taste the bounce and sweetness only raw scallops have — a "living" flavor, direct from Aomori, that frozen scallops cannot reproduce.


Melting sweetness and a delicate texture


The charm of scallop sashimi is its texture that unravels in your mouth.
Every bite slowly releases sweetness and umami, leaving a clean, elegant finish.
Enjoy it simply with soy sauce, or add a touch of yuzu-kosho or ponzu to bring the sweetness forward even more.


A superb match for Tohoku local sake


With its balance of sweetness and umami, scallop sashimi pairs wonderfully with sake.
A crisp junmai or a subtly fragrant ginjo makes the delicate sweetness stand out further.
"First, scallop sashimi and a glass of chilled sake" — please enjoy such a luxurious moment.


The blessing of Aomori's sea, delivered as it is


Ou Banquet values delivering the deliciousness of Aomori seafood just as it arrives.
Scallop sashimi is one of our signatures.
Please savor this simple yet unforgettable taste, born of good ingredients and honest craft.
