Keeper? 100% yes will return. We have tried multiple items including the omasake sushi, which is very costly for 11 pieces ($45) but top-notch quality fish.
- standard shop lot (small) in a not-so-good neighborhood
- one of a few sushi restaurants that offers real wasabi (not tube or powder) but have to ask for it and you get charged $7 due to rarity and labor (we didn't order)
- teriyaki beef, sushi, maki... A+; miso soup, tempura... A; udon soup... B+
- we ordered the notorious Natto (fermented soy bean), no where near stinky tofu, but is sure an acquired taste too, especially the gooey texture, pretty gross, we finished it and even my 7 year-old liked it
- we also ordered another delicacy - mountain potato with tuna, also gooey texture and I liked it better than Natto.
