Although it is not an authentic sushi restaurant, it is a sushi restaurant where you can taste a variety of menu items.
The chef's world of deep research and creation. This is a cooking course that highlights the spirit of experimentation.
The sauce is especially impressive.
The ingredients were very fresh.
The 17-course menu is quite a lot.
The downside is that it is very difficult to make a reservation.
