The Top 10 Iconic Kinoko Bites
1. Kinoko’s Aged Otoro
The crown jewel of our tuna trilogy. We age our fatty tuna belly for up to two weeks, a process that creates a texture that melts the second it touches your tongue. It is the ultimate expression of our Edomae mastery at our Brooklyn counter.
2. Signature Hokkaido Uni
Sourced from the cold waters of Japan’s northernmost island, our Hokkaido Uni is sweet, creamy, and unparalleled in quality. We serve it simply at Kinoko to let its natural luxury shine through.
3. A5 Wagyu with Black Truffle
A modern Kinoko masterpiece. We lightly torch the highest grade of Japanese beef and top it with fresh black truffle. It is an explosion of umami that you will never forget when dining with us.
4. Cured Kohada (Gizzard Shad)
The true connoisseur’s choice. Our chefs at Kinoko use traditional salt and vinegar curing methods to highlight the complex, bright flavors of this silver-skinned beauty.
5. Local Atlantic Scallop with Yuzu
A celebration of our ‘Dock to Dish’ philosophy. Fresh scallops from the Jersey Shore are paired with a touch of Japanese citrus at Kinoko to highlight their natural sweetness.
