| - I'll be echoing most people here, this place is fantastic.
My tips:
1) Reserve a bar seat
2) Try to come a few minutes early so that you can get a GOOD bar seat (hopefully served by Yasuhisa, but the other guys are pretty great too)
3) The premium sashimi is so worth it (I didn't get it but my partner did and I was definitely jealous)
4) Put your phone away and just enjoy the experience!
My favourites (in no particular order) were the mackerel, the unagi, the three types of tuna, the monkfish liver, the salmon roe and tuna belly rice bowl, and the seared bonito and lobster sashimi. Oh and can't forget the tamago, that was great for a finisher.
Their wasabi is fantastic, I've never tried wasabi like this before, they grate it right in front of you, it's so fresh and flavourful.
We also had snow crab with crab liver, spotted prawn, fluke, firefly squid, sakura shrimp and scallop. My least favourite was the macha ice cream with red bean (I don't really think it fit in after having all that wonderful sushi).
I also had the sake pairings. I don't drink much saki, so for me it was a nice intro into different kinds of Sake. Unfortunately, I don't remember most of the names, but I liked the one from Hiroshima and the one featured in Ocean's 13 the best, my least favourite was the last unfiltered one.
One of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Yasuhisa was also really friendly and had great attention to detail. Thanks!
