Maguro Zukushi - Tuna Dinner, Kobe

Maguro zukushi 鮪づくし is a meal where all the dishes are made of maguro, tuna. You can find information and the address of this restaurant online - it is called Sakanaya Dojo. You will see sashimi - raw tuna, even pizza with tuna and avocado, then sushi. Everything is used in the tuna, even the meat of the jaws.

It is written Sakanaya Dojo. Sakana means fish. 道場 doujou literally means "place of the way" - it is usually the hall used for martial arts training.

73% of the territory of Japan is covered of mountains and forests. A small percentage of the land is used for human activities, so the spaces seem small here. However, each and every place is so cosy.
