| - I was a bit skeptic upon walking in, because it was Friday evening and the restaurant was almost empty. Also, the decor looked underwhelming - but that's just me being fussy.
Prices looked ok, so we ordered an omakase box (for two). The drinks list had a large selection of Japanese alcohols, but unfortunately the lack of description made it difficult for non-connoisseurs to make a choice (e.g. Tamano Hikori Tokusen, Masumi Karakuchi Ki-Ippon). On the other hand, the cocktails were well explained. My boyfriends ordered a Kabocha cocktail (pumpkin sirop, Baileys, cinnamon, milk), which was quite good, although a tad watery.
We waited quite a bit for the food, but found it delicious. The omakase box was beautifully organized, and portions were satisfying. The tempura was hot and crispy, the sashimi fresh, the beef tender and flavourful. Even the fillers (pickles, veggies) were good.
Overall positive impression, but did not exceed expectations.
