   Over priced, for the space and the food, don’t understand the so well recommended posts

   The food in the omakase was excellent, varied, and plentiful. The sake pairings were all delicious. We felt informed on what was coming out to us for each course and struggled to eat it all while absolutely wanting to consume every single bite. This meal was a highlight of our trip to Tokyo and we wholeheartedly recommend it to others.

   Very expensive experience. The food was good, but I had similar experiences in many other Tokyo restaurants for a fraction of the price.

   Really amazing experience. If you haven’t been to Japan this is a must do. Note it was a prefix meal which we didn’t know booking via Open Table. (No option for a la carte). All in all we enjoyed the experience even if some of the dishes were too adventurous for us. We were so stuffed so go hungry.

   An intimate and personal dining experience. We shared the restaurant with only 6 other diners. The food was delicious. Very fresh, and a great variety of flavours. We also enjoyed the sake pairings. Thank you!

   Beautiful food. Friendly and attentive service. (Minor point—interior walls could use a refresh.) Custard with uni, fois gras, and gold leaf was exceptional. Abalone course was beautifully presented—includes hot lava rock to sear abalone—great concept.

   One of the best meals I’ve ever had and I’ve eaten at 1-3 star Michelin restaurants, at Four Seasons restaurants over the past 25+ years and many other restaurants, bistros, cafes and holes-in-the-wall along the way. This is by far the best sushi/sashimi/sake experiences I’ve ever had and in the top 3 meals I’ve ever had. Dinner was our last night in Tokyo, after 18 days in Asia. It was for me and my son (23). Small, intimate restaurant (maybe 20 seats?!). We sat at the counter and ordered the tasting menu with sake tasting/pairing. Each course was better than the next. The hospitality was inviting and the service was impeccable. The room was discreet. I cannot speak more highly about this dining experience. Run, don’t walk. Make it a stop every time you go to Tokyo. It’s that good. Thank you to the team for a very special night.

    Great food and service. The foies gras and umi was absolutely to die for. Amazing experience overall. The chef was very friendly and spoke English and Tagalog. His friendliness definitely elevated the experience. In terms of the interior, it was very nice and looked upscale. As for the sake, ask the waitress what she recommends as it was fantastic.
