| - Finally made it out here! This restaurant has been on my list for quite a while, and I'm so glad I made the trek. Went for lunch and shared the sashimi set and the unatama set. We had salads to start. Delicious assortment of fresh sashimi including scallop, sweet shrimp, squid, octopus, salmon, tuna, mackerel. The unatama (unagi+tamago, eel+egg) was kind of like an eel version of an oyako-don. Again, delicious.
Let's not forget the cake. We selected the tofu cheesecake and the fruit shortcake, and they were both excellent. The (bottomless) coffee that came with the meal was a refreshing change from the green tea that is usually served, and it helped kick the post-meal snooze. After we had dessert, the waitress informed us that they forgot our miso soups, and gave us a couple of cookies with their apologies.
They seem to do quite a few takeout cake orders (advance ordering required). I saw a 12"x12" strawberry fruitcake being loaded into a giant box and it looked fantastic. By the way, don't try to go there only for cake during lunch hour. Wait for tea time (3:00 pm to 5:00 pm). Otherwise, they won't seat you and (politely) ask you to do takeout.
Excellent service, excellent food. The price is a bit steep, but when it's this good, I'll gladly pay for it.
