| - The first time I've tried Tokyo was this year...surprising for a Japanese food lover like me. My fiancé recommended this place and we had took my Aunt here a couple months back. I was pleased with the outcome so we decided to go back this past Friday.
It was a bit quiet for a Friday night, but we sat at the bar. We decided to start with the fresh sweet shrimp. Never having FRESH sweet shrimp we didn't know what to exactly to do when we got it. It did kind of creep me out that it was still alive when we got it, but the sushi chef explained to us how to do it. I didn't end up doing that, but the shrimp was definitely better than any other sweet shrimp I've had. However, I will not be doing that sort of thing again.
We also ordered a bunch of nigri! Yellowtail belly, toro, albacore, unagi, uni, scallop, octopus and salmon roe. Everything was pretty dang delicious minus the toro. The toro was a bit tough to eat, stringy like, but the yellowtail belly made up for what the toro wasn't. They also slice a decent amount of fish on the nigri so it was well worth it. In addition, they were ended up giving us miso soup, cooked mushrooms, this kimchi pork concoction and yellowtail collar. With everything that we ordered and all the free food that they gave out, we definitely left full.
The service was excellent and I know we will be back.
