This place is pretty foreigner friendly in the fact that they provide a menu with multiple languages (although you do have to ask for one if it’s not obvious to them that you are tourist). The most confusing part was figuring out how to order, so let me help you. The papers and pen that are on your table are there for you to order most of your food (the server will initially come up to you to ask what you would like to drink, I got a shochu matcha highball). IMPORTANT: If you order an alcoholic drink they will give you a small dish called “otoshi” which is mandatory and cannot be refused( tho you can chose to just not eat it). This is so you don’t drink on an empty stomach and is something that happens in most restaurants that serve alcoholic drinks. The nigiri (にぎり) is numbered on the menu and the numbers correspond on the order sheet. The two vertical columns ask if you want wasabi in your nigiri or not (left column is yes and right column is no). Indicate how many of that nigiri you want in the boxes (ex: 1,2,3). Anything that is not given it’s own box on the sheet can be indicated in the free blank boxes on the bottom right corner ( this is where I put my order for the assorted tuna dish and my miso soup). When you are ready to order and if you need anything else in the future, call a worker with a “sumimasen” and/or raise your hand to show its you who is calling them. P.S they give a complimentary green tea drink after your meal and the tuna is definitely the most worth it. Was not a fan of the marinated mackerel. My order of sushi + my alcoholic drink + yuzu sherbert (which I highly recommend for dessert) + and small miso soup = 7,557¥ which is about $52. Don’t forget to say “gochisosamadeshita” to the workers if you enjoyed the food!

Had a birthday dinner here with my family and it was an overall great experience. The staff and service was great, with English communication on par with the Japanese restaurants found in Australia. Their sashimis were excellent with good quality cuts but what stood out was my family's first experience with Chawan Mushi as it's flavours were very reminiscent of the broth found in a Balut/Penoy egg (Filipino) which we found very interesting! The more expensive prices were reflected upon the service and quality of the ingredients used in the dishes. We were sat on the basement floor very close to the chef who prepared our food - was a really great experience. Would probably not go out of my way to go back here but definitely a worthwhile experience!

This was our last night in Japan, and we wanted some delicious sushi to wrap everything up. Luckily, this happened to be directly across the street of where we were staying. Tuna is their specialty, and we had both tuna tartare and some tuna belly rolls. Both were incredible, and I would highly recommend them. We got some other assorted sushi pieces, all of which were great. The staff here is super friendly and upbeat, and are completely fine with English. It was late, and we had a bit of a wait, so if you're there right around dinner, you may be sitting for a while. Also, the downstairs becomes smoking after 11pm - so I would stick to upstairs, or get there before 11. Enjoy!

The sushi was a love affair of quality, freshness and flavor from the start. We had read the prior reviews and marked the restaurant to try and were more than happy that we did. Good food, our waitress was sweet, patient and spoke English. One otoshi (the house appetizer that follows the order of an alcoholic drink for the small cost of 300-600 yen) was brought out for one of us, as he had ordered a beer and I had ordered green tea. Our waitress had been kind enough to also make us aware of this upon ordering. The only little criticism would be a lack of atmosphere, but even that held little sway when the food and service were excellent. We would go there again.

My niece wanted to try a revolving sushi place at least once before we left Japan and we happened upon this place by chance. They open at 10:30am on the weekends so we were the first to be sat. The concept is definitely cool as you get to see the food before you select it and eat it. Be careful though as it all adds up at the end as they are priced by plate and each plate represents a different cost. Service was quick and pleasant. Our group had a good time. I didn’t feel like the sushi was any better than the States but we paid a bit more for the novelty of it.

The fish tasted fresh and clean, was presented with care, and there's a wide variety to choose from. They are open 24hours which makes it convenient for those needing to eat breakfast, or a quick sushi fix, as most neighboring restaurants don't open until 11am or later. We ate around 9am, and there was only one other party in the non-smoking dining room. The ordering form was not in English, but the chef came over to personally explain it (a column for wasabi, or without wasabi). The price was reasonable for the quality, and they accept credit cards.
