| - the location is quite hidden, you will have to be in the J-town complex and see a small sign.
the decor doesn't give you the looks of a Japanese restaurant.
the menu only has 2 pages, but their special of the day and a special menu has a total of 4 pages.
the waitress let us know that the special fish they have of the day is O-toro.
wanted to try out how their basic fish selection, we ordered an Ume Chirashi and Sakura Chirashi. yes, both Chirashi on the menu, I wanted to see what the $6 difference is all about.
(look at the pictures)
can you really tell the difference between the Ume and Sakura Chirashi? after going through all the seafood, $6 got me a bit more rice, and 1, yes ONE scallop.
beside the scallop, not more fish, both has the same amount of fish, and the same amount of egg, same type and same cut of fish.
with charging at such price, they didn't use fresh wasabi, they are just giving me the regular wasabi paste.
the salad that came first, was just 3 slices of cucumber, and a bunch of iceberg lettuce, with a possibly sesame seed sauce? but the colour of it is just dull.
forgot to mention, the lotus roots and the eggs are way to sweet, making the Chirashi more like a dessert.
so I guess give it 3 months to get it pricing right, and hopefully they find the balance. (and hope they don't go out of business...)
