Our Ingedients
Locally Sourced Ingredients
The Pacific Northwest is a treasure trove of globally renowned ingredients, including Salmon, Geoduck, and Albacore tuna. Additionally, the region boasts an abundance of mountain blessings, such as various wild mushrooms. At SHOMON, we use the finest local ingredients seasonally.
The Freshest Seafood from Japan
We aspire to use Pacific Northwest ingredients whenever possible. However, for certain seafood, especially the varieties essential for crafting authentic Edomae Sushi, we rely on imports from Japan. Uni (sea urchin) and Sea Scallops are renowned Japanese products, and their quality is unmatched worldwide. When you savor SHOMON’s Edomae Sushi, you’ll undoubtedly appreciate its true value.
