The menu includes:

Nigiri — grilled bell pepper with koji soy sauce; blanched okra with miso sauce
Hosomaki — cucumber
Inarizushi — seasoned aburaage with sushi rice, pickled ginger, and simmered shiitake
Gunkan — corn with vegan mayo and miso; okra, natto, and yamaimo with soy sauce
Chirashi-zushi — carrot, burdock, shiitake, lotus root, kabocha, and vegan ikura
