| - I first visited Roppongi less than a week ago and have since been back twice for more! My initial thought was that they would have some competition from other Asian-inspired restaurants close by, but they are significantly different. They are advertised as a sushi restaurant and bar and that is exactly what they are as the menu is mostly sushi or sushi-like fare, but there are still some menu items that would tempt the tastebuds of those not looking for sushi as their meal. I haven't tried everything yet, but my favorites so far are the Tuna Tartar (tuna, tempura bits, avocado,mango, yuzu) appetizer, the Passion Roll (snow crab salad, topped with red and white tuna and eel, with dipping sauce) and the Roppongi Roll (deep fried lobster, asparagus, cream cheese topped with avocado, crispy taro masago and chef's specail sauce). Everything that I have tried is great though...in taste and presentation! The service and staff were both outstanding! If you ever went into this place before it was remodeled and redecorated for Roppongi, you wouldn't recognize it! It has a very urban/chic/contemporary feel, while still feeling warm and inviting. It is well-suited for an intimate dinner for two or for a larger party ready for a night out! I will definitely be back for more!
