checked this place out for the first time with a friend last night...the food is very fresh and as far as I can tell it seems authentic. my friend and I remembered to say "itadakimasu!" before eating :) it's a tiny place but the owners are really friendly. they're usually in the back but there's a little bell you can ring for assistance. their takoyaki is made fresh and definitely worth the wait :) perfect on a cold night! I ate them there while they were hot and I'd definitely recommend eating them right away...oishii! the onigiri I wasn't crazy about since it just tasted like white rice with a bit of seasoning. but I'll definitely be back for takoyaki! looks like they offer sukiyaki as well which I've been dying to try ever since my friend from Japan described it to me :)
