| - Yes it's everything everyone has said and more.
I have a predilection for fatty goodness and uni; having said that, the highlights for me were the agedashi tofu, pork cheeks, duck with balsamic and the poached egg with sea urchin and ikura.
The uni was the most memorable IMO - but FYI I have been known to demolish uni by the tray, and I don't mind different textures. The dish is a slippery, slimy combination of egg yolk, ikura, okra, uni, and nagaimo (a yam that Japanese like to eat raw - few calories but very very slimy). If you don't mind the texture, the experience is unforgettable.
The foie gras was memorable too - I read here on yelp that it's recommended to eat it with rice because it's so rich - and the server asked me if I would like a "rice bowl" and I asked if she recommended the "rice ball" instead - she said I must try the "bowl" - and turns out that because of her accent I understood "ball" as "bowl"... Anyway the rice balls aren't a life changer but pretty darn good for what it is (two lumps of grilled rice, one that is bonito flavored).
I didn't even get to dessert. But I'll be back soon for more.
