The most honored or signature ingredients at the Michelin-starred Sushi Ginza Onodera in West Hollywood include:

• Wild caught Hokkaido king salmon: Celebrated for its rich flavor and quality, often featured in nigiri and other sushi preparations.

• Five-day dry-aged tuna from Northern Japan: This aging process intensifies the tuna’s flavor and texture, making it a prized ingredient for nigiri.

• Bafun uni (sea urchin) from Japan: Known for its silky softness and delicate sweetness, served as a highlight in nigiri or chawanmushi topped with uni.

• Pen shell clam: Used in nigiri, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to premium seafood.

• Niigata prefecture rice tinted with red vinegar (akazu): The rice is specially prepared with aged red vinegar, giving it a distinctive brownish tint and a sweet-sour flavor profile that complements the fish perfectly.

These ingredients are carefully selected and often featured in signature dishes such as nigiri sushi, chawanmushi topped with caviar and uni, and other intricate preparations that highlight their quality and the chef’s skill.
