What to Order
Omakase Tasting Menu
A multi-course chef's selection that showcases fresh, artfully presented sushi and other dishes, designed to be a culinary journey.
"Every course felt intentional, fresh, and artfully presented, making the entire evening feel like a thoughtful exploration rather than just a meal."
Danielle Kyei
Wagyu Nigiri
A delicate slice of massaged beef served as nigiri, often paired with a ssamjang sauce, offering a rich and impactful flavor.
"The Wagyu was the best I’ve ever had, paired with a fantastic ssamjang sauce."

Hotate (Scallop) Nigiri
Sweet and exceptionally fresh scallop nigiri, praised for its delightful taste and perfect balance of flavors.
"The hotate (scallop) was delightfully sweet, and the Wagyu was the best I’ve ever had, paired with a fantastic ssamjang sauce."

Pressed Ebi Sushi with Basil Sauce and Umeboshi
A surprising and amazing combination of pressed prawn sushi, topped with a unique basil sauce and umeboshi for a complex flavor profile.
"The pressed ebi sushi, topped with basil sauce and umeboshi, was a surprising and amazing combination."
S L
House-made Soy Sauce
A deep, umami-rich soy sauce with a hint of ponzu, crafted in-house to enhance the fish without overpowering it.
"Every piece of sushi showcased the quality of the ingredients and the chef’s precision. The buttery saba, A5 Wagyu, and rich uni were standouts, but what really elevated each bite was their house-made soy sauce—deep, umami-rich, and perfectly balanced with a hint of ponzu."

Sake Pairing
A curated selection of sake designed to complement the omakase courses, featuring award-winning libations not typically found in local stores.
"We had the 10 piece tasting menu with a Sake paining and each piece was unbelievably good, leaving you thinking the next couldn’t possibly be up to the same standard…and it was every single time."
