| - This place is more of a 3.5 star place, rounded up to 4 because the food makes you forget the decor. The decor is fine, clean with lots of dark surfaces, but is still a little charmless. But who cares, you're here to eat.
We had the karaage with negi-mabushi sauce and kakuni. The fried chicken was tasty with the sauce giving it a little sweetness and a very slight spicy kick. The braised pork belly was exactly what you want in the dish: unctuous, tender, melt in your mouth flavor that's savory, not salty and just a little sweet.
For dinner, we had the chirashi and the chef's chirashi. From what I could tell, the difference was the chef's chirashi included a fried shrimp head, squid topped with salmon roe and maybe a few extra pieces of fish cut a little differently, plus a special soy sauce. Both chirashi were attractive and included some pickled veggies you normally don't see. Both were generously topped with tasty, flavorful fish and I'd order either again.
Service was fine and on a block with other Japanese dining options, this is a solid choice.
