| - I knew of Kabuto's existence, and even knew roughly where it was. I had walked by it several times on my way to other Japanese restaurants in the same complex, but had never noticed it since it's incredibly discrete.
As an aside, it is unfair to the rest of the world that we have so many amazing Japanese restaurants in that complex.
Dinner was exactly what we expected it would be: Divine.
I wasn't too eager to do the grill, so just got the Nigiri tasting but the 3 others in my group stepped it up a notch.
The preparation, presentation, delivery, and explanation all compounded to create a truly remarkable experience. While some of the tastes I didn't much care for, there was no doubting the quality of the basic ingredients. Having tuna from Spain and Sea Bass from Fukuoaka was better than expected.
I can see people being surprised by the price, because it isn't cheap. That's the price for the type of fish and the years of experience accrued to deliver it in such a fashion. The service is also absolutely top notch, which is expected at the price point.
In short, I'm looking forward to experiencing Kabuto again but I will reserve it for special occasions because Kabuto is, in itself, a special occasion.
