Enjoy its melt-in-your-mouth sweetness and premium flavor alongside seasonal Omi vegetables and your choice of rice. We invite you to enjoy a moment that warms both your heart and body with this steaming hot steamer basket.

A steaming hot dim sum basket.

Enjoy these dim sum, packed with the rich umami of the ingredients, along with the warm steam.

Steamed Spanish Mackerel and Salmon. High-quality fish is marinated in Saikyo miso and steamed in a bamboo steamer until it’s moist and tender. Saikyo miso, rich in rice koji, is known for its mellow sweetness and refined, delicate flavor. Please take your time to savor the delicious flavors of the fish alongside seasonal Omi vegetables.

At Seiro Shokudo, meals are served in a three-tiered steamer basket featuring a main dish, seasonal Omi vegetables, and your choice of rice. In addition to white rice, you can choose from Chinese-style glutinous rice (+220 yen) or enzyme-fermented brown rice (+330 yen). We especially recommend the enzyme-fermented brown rice, which is known for its chewy texture and rich flavor—the result of a slow fermentation process. Please take your time and savor it alongside our warm steamed dishes.
