Walked in right before closing for lunch. Nondescript building. Sleek and clean interior. Friendly and informative owner.

Had omakase lunch (Sakura selection) for under 17 USD. Included purple sea urchin (“murasaki uni”) And raw head of octopus with Himalayan salt, which you don’t encounter very often.

Credit card payment is NOT accepted for lunch. Sounds like he takes credit card for dinner.
