| - We live 2 minutes away from this restaurant and have been meaning to try it out for the longest time. Well, we are here last night and it did not disappoint!
There are two menus: the Iwaki menu, which has a rice dish and tuna tataki, and the Edo menu, which has sushi. You need to call ahead if you want the Edo menu, but given that everything is made to order and they are set menus, I would recommend calling ahead regardless.
We chose the Edo menu, and it did not disappoint. There are 7 courses: an assorted appetizer, soba noodle salad, mini onomiyaki: Japanese pancakes, seaweed soup, dish of the day: fried cod, assorted sushi and dessert: ginger ice cream and fruit. Each course is different, the presentation is simple, highlighting the food and you can tell that the chef puts a lot of attention and love into each of them. My favourite dish was the fried cod, it was buttery, light and melted in my mouth. The sushi was a close second, and the soba noodle salad deserves a special shout out.
The service was also excellent. There was only one waitress, but she was attentive and took the time to explain each dish to you. The restaurant only has 12 seats, so it is nice and cozy. This is also why it's important to make reservations.
Great restaurant, a definite hidden gem in NDG. I highly recommend it.
