Arrived here around opening time for lunch so didn't need to wait for a table. They have the ala carte menu as well as several set courses at different price points. I went with the mid price set course which included appetizer, shirayaki, chawanmushi, unaju, liver clear soup and dessert. The shirayaki was grilled with no sauce or seasoning, intended to be enjoyed with a little bit of salt and wasabi to bring out the natural taste of the unagi. Not my favorite style of unagi but it was soft and delicate. For the unajyu, the sweet kabayaki sauce was applied sparingly but was enough to soak onto the surface of the rice, and the sansho pepper ties the dish together. Overall it was a tasty meal, service was good and the dishes were served in a timely manner.
