| - If you want real AUTHENTIC Japanese food, made and served as if you are at a typical neighborhood restaurant in Japan, this is a good place to try. The owner, sushi chef, and waitstaff are all Japanese (increasingly rare in a city where the vast majority of Japanese restaurants don't even have ONE Japanese person and are staffed by Korean and Chinese). Furthermore, every time I have been there, the majority of the customers were Japanese-speaking--and that says a lot. All the food is fresh, carefully chosen and expertly prepared. The menu is very basic, but everything on it is correctly prepared, and you can eat in confidence that all the ingredients have been thoroughly checked for quality and freshness. For example, this is one of very few sushi restaurants in the city where I would dare to order Uni, and it's one of very few where I am truly delighted with the Unagi. Fried oysters are particularly home-made and delicious tasting. I feel very lucky to have a restaurant like this that is local and not too far from my home.
