Did you know that Kura Sushi has a "back menu" that is known only to employees and enthusiasts? "The man who knows Kura Sushi best", employee YouTuber "Inaba" introduces the secrets of the popular "back menu" and strategies such as how to order.

Kura Sushi back menu

Arajiru

At Kura Sushi, some of the fish procured every morning is hand-cut in the store, but the bones of the fish that came out at that time and the material that is less than the consistent size are provided as "arajiru". The price is 198 yen.

Even though it is a fish scrap, the freshness is outstanding. The scent of yuzu and trefoil enhances the taste. The back menu is unique in that you can enjoy the change in the taste of the soup stock depending on the purchasing situation, such as bonito in the spring and hamachi and yellowtail in the winter.

Seafood Yukhoe

"Seafood Yukhoe" is a specially made yukhoe that is seasoned with flavored vegetables and sweet fruits to match the seafood. Meat is the mainstream of yukhoe, but it is finished as a product that is comparable to specialty stores. The price is 110 yen.

Although the quantity is limited, it is a popular product that some people come to the store in search of this "seafood yukhoe". It is a very popular item among employees. The texture of fresh raw fish is chopped, and it goes very well with Yukkedare. "Inaba" is topping the seasonal seafood bowl for Kura lunch and eating it as a "seafood extra bowl".

Toro iron fire

Toro is proud of Kura Sushi. The part that does not become sushi material that comes out when cutting the material is used, and its deliciousness is compactly tailored to iron fire rolls. The price is 220 yen.

At Kura Sushi, we carefully select and provide the parts from the lenticel to 4 cm that have good fat riding, even in the medium fatty tuna. It is a dish that you can fully enjoy the sweetness of rich fat by using this particular fatty tuna luxuriously. It is recommended to eat with wasabi soy sauce that enhances the sweetness of Toro.

How to order the back menu

The back menu is made mainly using the parts that are not the standard sushi ingredients in order to reduce food loss as much as possible. Therefore, the products and timing that can be offered vary from day to day. Depending on the purchase of ingredients, it may be displayed on the menu (touch panel or smartphone screen), or it may be secretly flowing in the rotating lane, so it is best to check every corner of the menu and rotating lane after entering the store. It is a point.

In addition, Kura Sushi is prepared at the store before it opens. In the morning immediately after the store opens, the part that does not become sushi material that was prepared is used early so that the freshness does not deteriorate, so the probability that the back menu will be offered is the highest. Depending on the purchasing situation, you may be able to eat it even at lunch time.

Aim at the start and end of the limited-time fair. At the monthly fairs that use seasonal ingredients, there is a tendency to purchase more fish. In that case, many back menus using fair fish will be offered, so the probability of eating will increase. Depending on the fair, a back menu using high-class parts such as large Toro may be offered.

The "back menu" is highly praised not only by fans but also by Kura Sushi employees. Maybe you're lucky if you can meet them? If you go to the store, why not check it out to see if it's hidden somewhere?
