                                                              Absolutely delicious handrolls! The quality of each handroll was outstanding, you can tell the fish is very fresh. The decor is simple and elegant. Thought was put into making it an upscale experience. The waitstaff was professional. They did a great job in explaining to us the experience and handrolls and serving each handroll with a flourish. We had a great time visiting for lunch and will try to make it back for dinner! Hoping that this stays open, we really need some upscale Japanese dining experiences in The Woodlands!
