Please allow for some indulgence in this review. I don't know if this has ever happened to anyone else, but in the last year or so, I have sort of lost my appetite for steak. I didn't really understand it, I thought maybe your tastes change as you get older or something. I have basically only been eating poultry and pork recently, with my beef intake being primarily from hamburgers if I go to a gourmet hamburger place.

I didn't lose my appetite for steak, I was just eating it wrong. I learned that after having lunch at this restaurant. I know people look at Michelin star restaurants and immediately have high, often unrealistic expectations. They want some crazy experience for their money, that's not this place - and it's a wonderful thing.

No gimmicks, no frills, no nonsense. Just high quality wagyu beef. Look at the presentation of the meat - no sauce, no extras. We were presented with salt, soy sauce, and wasabi on the side. Definitely dip the beef in the salt - oh my goodness.

Did I mention they provide a genealogy of the freaking cow you're eating?? Super cool. Clearly they care about the animal and the quality of the meat they present to their customers.

My wife and I had the set lunch menu which was INCREDIBLY high value, I genuinely cannot even believe the price. I've paid much more for much lower quality beef.

This place was genuinely life changing. The staff were friendly, the waiter/manager/owner was funny and super welcoming. I'm telling everyone who will listen that they need to drop their plans and go to this place with haste. ごちそうさまでした!!
