A Chef Who Made The Experience
👍
Time of visit: March 2023
Omakase And An Unexpected Favorite
We ordered an omakase course, which started with a small dish of raw baby conger eels, followed by a variety of sushi prepared by the chef.
The food here was genuinely impressive. Everything we ate tasted excellent, but what stood out most was the mashed tuna wrapped in nori (seaweed). According to the chef, it was not part of our order. But the chef gave it to us unexpectedly, and it turned out to be my favorite.
A Generous Chef And A Quiet Night
We visited without a reservation, even though it seems like most people book in advance. We were able to get in because another group canceled, and since it was close to closing time, we ended up being the only customers that night.
The chef was very welcoming and generous, even offering an extra dish while talking about his food and how he started the restaurant. The atmosphere felt relaxed and personal because of that.
Overall, this was a surprisingly good experience, and I would definitely come back.
