We are regular customers and are rarely disappointed. The selection of sashimi we chose was excellent. The Japanese Mackerel and Fatty Tuna were outstanding. The wine list offers a reasonable price range. The service is very good although a little too attentive at times. Overall a very enjoyable evening.

Wow! Every morsel was scrumptious and beautifully presented. The service is impeccable. Michelin star well deserved. You will pay for the privilege, of course, but an excellent extravagance to be certain.
