We were looking for classic sushi and we got what we wanted. The fish was fresh and delicious. The agedashi tofu was on par. Service was excellent. The coffee jelly was delightful refreshing dessert. Thank you for a simple yet tasty meal!

Everything is always delicious and well prepared. It’s also so nice to eat from the traditional beautiful ceramics. I apologize but cannot recall our server’s name but she was tall, Asian —excellent service/timing of meal. And, the coffee jelly is innovative/delicious. Thank you

Great fresh food. Nice-sized portions. My husband had sushi rolls, while I had soba topped w sashimi. My son enjoyed the generous dish of chicken katsu curry.

We enjoyed an excellent dinner, every bit as good as meals that we had in Japan. The tempura was especially good.

We had a large party celebrating a birthday. The prix fixe, combination dinners & katsu curry were all delicious. Nina was our main server & per usual, provided excellent service. Thank you to the owner & manager for accommodating us & making it a special dinner.
