Amazing, truly a hidden gem! Best Japanese we've had since moving to Mesa 5 years ago. Definitely on par with small family-owned Japanese places in Hawaii where we're from. Gave us a little taste of home. Minimalist service (pay at the counter etc, like some of the places back in Hawaii), however no minimalism when it comes to the quality and quantity of the food! Great tempura dinner. Highly recommended, lots of character and great flavors. We will be back soon!
