This is the place to go if you want to experience one of the best, real Sushi Omakase. Misaki-san and Ume-san are masters of their craft, the attention to detail to every dish is superb.
I’ve had Omakase in Gion Kyoto and this place reminded a lot of that. Every dish is flavorful and neatly presented as well with a brief explanation from Misaki-san about the ingredients and preparation. The Sushi course is very complete with everything you’d expect from Omakase like Otoro and Uni, but I also liked the addition of Kiritanpo which is a dish from Misaki’s hometown. Also, they make their own fresh wasabi!
Their drink menu is very ample and diverse, I had the sake from Hiroshima and was delicious!
This place is worth every cent if you like and appreciate a great Sushi...
