    The seafood was top quality and fresh, with good flavour. The omakase was worth the price. However, the chirashi don was quite small but pricey. I had the snow crab and hokkaido scallop don. Personally I felt that there was too much seasoning (even though the seasoning flavour was very good) and it over powered the seafood at times. Especially the additional seasoned seaweed and lemon provided. Would be better to let the seafood shine. The non alcoholic umeshu was very good. One of the best mocktails I've had in a long time.

    By far one of the best restaurants in Melbourne. We rocked up on a Monday evening at 8:45pm, late to our booking 8:30pm, in which we thought the restaurant closed at 12pm but no- it closed at 9pm! So automatically I thought they would apologise and say that we had come too late or give us a time of which we had to leave but instead they catered us, looked after us and told us to take our time. Lucas, the manager and our waiter was so very accomodating. Midway through the dinner, we (me and my date) were the only ones in the restaurant. Was truly an experience I am very grateful for, and all the food was 10/10. I do recommend the ebi mayo, okonomiyaki and yakitori AND the HOT CHOCOLATE - it's one of the best I've had. No joke. 100% recommend.
