High quality authentic Japanses food. Wide variety of rolls, excellent tofu, black cod & fried chicken, taken to a higher level. For an upper tier restaurant, prices are extremely reasonable and portion sizes are NOT small. Service is professional, stoic Japanese demeanor. Very relaxing atmosphere, have a tray of sake tastings with a pot of hot green tea and smooth out!

Small portions but with many ""extra"" plates thrown in throughout the meal, you won't leave hungry. Great wine selection. Wait staff is professional & knowledgable. A more casual bar/lounge seating area available too, same menu. A special place!"

Is that too much, yes, but ...
