It was a great experience. I enjoyed the classic course, which included some Japanese ingredients. These were familiar to us from our experiences in Japan (my home country), and it's rare to encounter them at such a high level in the U.S.—except here. Providence was truly the best dining and cultural experience we’ve had in the U.S. I hope to come again someday.
