What to Order
Nigiri
Experience perfectly seasoned sushi rice and generously sized, fresh fish toppings, prepared with traditional Japanese precision.
"Nigiri’s neta sizes were generous with the right amount of shari rice (just like the nigiri at Edomae sushi joints in Tsukiji/Higashi Ginza area) Also the selection of neta were abundant and with good quality indicating that these are prepared properly by Japanese."

Chirashi Don
A vibrant bowl featuring a variety of fresh, well-handled fish artfully arranged over seasoned sushi rice.
"I think their nigiri is a testament to this, and that the chirashi don is a worthwhile splurge."
Heather Farrell
Bento Box
A well-rounded meal offering a delightful variety of options, including perfectly cooked tempura, making it a filling and satisfying choice for lunch.
"I ordered the bento box, and my parents also ordered. The atmosphere was like you were in a traditional Japanese restaurant. The food did take some time, but that is reasonable, since there were many customers. When I got my order, the box was very big, filled with food and sauces. I was already eating it, and it was so good!"

Delicate slices of fresh tuna that are so tender they melt in your mouth, showcasing the quality of their raw fish.
"The tuna sashimi melts in your mouth."
Andreanne B
Assorted Tempura
A selection of perfectly fried items with a light, crispy batter, prepared with authentic Japanese technique.
"We ordered a various appetizers like agedashi tofu, tofu salad, assorted tempura, crab sunomono, chirashi sushi and assorted nigiri. We were very impressed with them all as dashi, tastes, raw fish variety and preparation for sashimi and the neta of nigiri were all done correctly and fresh."
岩Bob
Hot Sake
A warm and comforting alcoholic beverage that perfectly complements the meal.
"Let me tell you, the hot sake was SO good."
