About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Innovative

Located in the vibrant East Cut neighborhood, just a 15-minute walk from the Ferry Building, our diverse and sustainability-driven menu offers a contemporary interpretation of the traditional Omakase experience. We blend innovative takes on Japanese cuisine with local, seasonal ingredients and fish sourced from Tokyo’s renowned Toyosu Fish Market. Signature dishes, such as our Shokupan—grilled milk bread topped with toro and golden Kaluga caviar—and the aged, soy-cured bluefin tuna nigiri, showcase a harmonious fusion of premium seafood and thoughtfully curated ingredients, presented with creative flair.
Please note, we currently offer Omakase experiences exclusively for lunch and dinner, with no à la carte options available. For guests seeking to enhance their experience, additional nigiri selections are available a la carte from our nama menu after the tasting. The Omakase lunch experience is priced at $150 per guest, and the Omakase dinner experience is priced at $255 per guest.

Food was delicious. Service was disorganised and did not match the refined atmosphere and food (or price point). At the end of our omakase we enatured about additional pieces; the server said yes and took our order but did not communicate with the chef, who had already left. This meant a 35 minute wait between courses and a chef who was visibly upset at the server. While we were finishing, they were closing down the restaurant (clearing place settings etc)- again, not a fine dining experience. During the meal, water glasses were left empty, finished cocktail glasses sat on the table for 30 minutes. The server wasn’t knowledgeable about the food on offer.
