    Mediocre omakase experience at best. Unsanitary food preparation. The sushi chef used a single cloth to clean the knifes, boards, and plates of multiple diners. Very gross, though we didn’t want to...

The restaurant is located between the Kenrokuen and the Higashi/Kazue-machi Chaya District, making it easy to stop by after exploring the town.

The restaurant offers both omakase (chef's choice) and customer choice options, and the restaurant's chef can prepare sushi for you based on your budget and tastes.

    The sushi was delicious, and the waitresses were pleasant, but the older sushi chef was so rude that I wouldn’t recommend going here. It was the most expensive meal I’ve had in Japan, so the bad...

    3300円のおまかせランチを食べてみた。 この値段でこのクオリティなら星5つにしたいところだが、一点残念なところがある。 店内がとにかく狭い。特に入口近くの席はハズレの席で席から手を伸ばせば開閉可能な上ひっきりなしに来店する客と狭いので従業員が一度外に出て奥の厨房に出入りするのでその度に冷たい風をまともに受ける。ある意味換気が完璧なコロナ対応の席とも言える。 食事は全体的に小ぶりだが品数が多い...
