    Unassuming spot with incredible sushi, uni was especially fresh. Tempura was excellent, and they have house made tofu. Extensive sake menu. We loved it.

    Our reservation just happen to be on the day when Kubota sake had a free tasting of their new 2025 offerings. Food was excellent and Kubota sake was flowing. What's not to like.
