Discovering the Culinary Treasures of Tokushima
Located on the eastern coast of Japan’s Shikoku Island, Tokushima Prefecture is celebrated for its spectacular mountains, fertile farmland and abundant coastal waters bordering both the Pacific Ocean and the Seto Inland Sea. These natural advantages have helped establish the prefecture as one of Japan’s leading producers of premium agricultural products and high-quality seafood.

This balance of tradition and nature has earned Tokushima widespread recognition among food lovers seeking authentic regional Japanese cuisine.
Seasonal Menu Showcases Signature Regional Ingredients
Chef Atsushi Yoshida has carefully assembled a menu that reflects the essence of Tokushima while introducing Bangkok diners to several regional delicacies rarely available outside Japan.
Among the standout dishes is Sudachi Buri Sashimi and Usuzukuri, prepared using premium yellowtail that has been raised on a diet enriched with the zest of Tokushima’s famous sudachi citrus. The result is fish with a remarkably clean flavor, delicate texture and refreshing finish.
