I got there about 4:30 on a week day which happens to be about an half an hour before they open. decided to just stick around and wait for them to open. The owner drives up and tells me it's too cold to be waiting outside and that I should come on in even though they aren't open yet. Good start.
You walk in and it feels like a real sushi bar. No leather lined walls. No fire and ice fireplace. No hostess in a geisha outfit. Just lots of wood and cheap chairs. You know, like a sushi bar should be. The place looks and smells clean. Ok, so far we are doing well.
So i grab some hot sake on a cold rainy day and starting to instantly feel at home. I tell the sushi chef to just bring whatever he recommends. some low points and some high points. Then he brings me the white tuna. Oh my god!!!! This is the best thing ever. Soft, buttery, tons of flavor. At this point I couldn't be happier. Everything I ordered at this point was tasty and fresh. The only downside was the rice....Not bad but not great. The octopus however, was really good. If it is not cut right it can be very rubbery. This however, was not.
I will definitely be back. The service was absolutely fantastic.
