Umami is one of the five basic tastes, which some describe as meaty or brothy. YUM!
First - I almost walked right by this place! The restaurant is on the third floor and the bathrooms are on the second floor.
Second- The private room looks so fancy, like it would be perfect for a birthday party, with traditional low seating and curtain for extra swankiness.
Third- The bar is beautiful and long, with an overwhelming selection of drinks.
Fourth- If you are there to eat, sit in front of the kitchen. It looks like the opening scene in Spirited Away when Chihiro's parents eat the food made for the spirits and get turned into pigs. I ordered a bowl of ramen, but it was so big, I had no hope of finishing it. Also, order the chicken skin on the stick. It is so fatty and yummy, perfectly crispy.
Finally, umami doesn't just describe the food- the cooks certainly fit that description too *wink*
