This is my fav. Japanese restaurant in town: the atmosphere feels authentic and although the restaurant is quite spacious it is quite cozy. Wait times are long and the service can be slow at times - they are always quite busy. But honestly i think it's worth it and there's space to wait inside in winter. I've been there 4-5 times and can confidently say that the food quality is consistent and outstanding for the price: the ramen is a must, the torched mackerel is mouthwatering, the grilled squid is tasty and never burned and the green tea tiramisu has the perfectly balanced flavor and is just the right size: you enjoy it and it's all gone before you think you should try the other dessert the next time!
