Expensive dining but totally worth it. It’s a counter seating sushi bar, the sushi was amazing, fresh fish (of course), good marination for some of them. I’m not a sushi person and nor am I any expert to give credit, but this place is great.

One thing though, go with empty stomach , we were served 28items through the 2.5 hours. All very delicious, just that you get quite full at the end.

Good neighborhood sushi joint. Quality ingredients and they alternate between sushi and hot washoku dishes which is unique. Personable sushi chef. Not cheap though.

Outstanding sushi. We got the full Omakase - it was so much food!

Living in Tokyo for 1 year, we tried several new kinds of fish that night. Sake selection was solid. Sushi chef is very funny and speaks some English - totally enough. Will go back!
