Meaning
MADAI
Madai, our hallmark, is not a mere catchphrase, nor is it just a fish. It represents a culinary symbol of Japanese cuisine, revered across the Adriatic Sea and beyond. The very first sushi was made from Madai. With its vibrant red color, symbolizing luck, the Madai fish (sea bream) embodies the spirit of celebration and joy. We invite you to explore the delicate flavors, tender texture, and rich nutritional content that make this fish the cornerstone of our menu.

NIGIRI
One of the purest and most traditional expressions of Japanese sushi. Nigiri is a small ball of rice topped with a piece of raw fish.
Uramaki
The meaning of the name is literally ``inside-out roll.`` It could be defined as a ``rebel roll`` because it goes against the usual norm of wrapping the rice on the outside.
Hosomaki
A small sushi roll made with one filling. ``Hoso`` in Japanese means thin, and ``maki`` means roll, so the word together literally means ``thin roll.``
