Baby octopus is known for its soft and 'plump' texture. Each store cuts them into large chunks to maximize the texture of the ingredients, then quickly stir-fries them with garlic and several vegetables to lock in the original umami.
Sakura shrimp are fried in-store immediately after receiving an order. The freshly fried, sweet, and fragrant sakura shrimp create an exquisite contrast with the soft texture of the risotto.
The sauce is oil-based and contains no preservatives or chemical seasonings, with lemon oil added as a finishing touch. It carries a fresh, refreshing aroma and leaves a light aftertaste.

The umami of venison in red wine with fermented butter and rosemary aroma.

■ Why choose 'inefficiency'? The persistence of hand-preparation in all stores.
What we value is hand-preparation in every single store. Rather than the efficiency of factory cooking, we choose to prepare each dish in all locations across the country while imagining the smiles of the customers right in front of us. No preservatives or chemical seasonings are used in the pasta and risotto sauces. We infuse each dish with the vitality born from 'human warmth,' 'excitement,' and 'emotion.' Seasons and flavors shift month by month. PISOLA will continue to wait for you with carefully selected ingredients and cooking methods, based on the desire for you to share delicious moments that can only be met at this very moment, even without going to the city center, with your loved ones.
