The fish used in this course is sourced from all over Japan. But that’s not only it. Several ingredients are also transported from outside the country. For instance, matsutake mushrooms come from China, black truffles from Italy, and whale meat from the North Atlantic Ocean.

The record for the world's most expensive sushi was previously held by Chef Angelito Araneta Jr. He charged diners 91,800 Philippine Pesos (approximately 1,00,000.) This dish included a set of five diamond-studded nigiri pieces that were also covered in 24-karat gold leaf.
