We opted to sit at the bar, and it was the perfect spot to enjoy the artistry of the sushi chefs at work. We shared a bottle of cold sake, which was smooth and crisp, pairing wonderfully with the fresh sashimi and expertly crafted rolls. Every bite was a testament to the quality and skill behind Kamehachi’s dishes. The atmosphere was inviting, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. If you're looking for high-quality sushi in a relaxed yet refined setting, Kamehachi is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be returning!More infoKamehachi - Old TownPrice: Moderate• Sushi• Old Town•4.7
