It's a level of quality I have otherwise only encountered in Japan. This commitment to excellence is evident in every piece of sushi, each fashioned with meticulous care and flawless technique. The balance of perfectly seasoned shari and pristine fish is sublime.

(I’m so sorry I didn’t tell the staff when they asked… I just can’t The staff is absolutely heartwarming, so is the atmosphere of the restaurant, but I wasn’t satisfied about the food. The whole set was very salty for me. The starter, the broth, the chawanmushi and sushi as well. Maybe it is the whole concept of the restaurant 深海…？ I also feel the texture of the sushi rice was not as elastic as the ones I had in Japan… maybe the breed of the rice is different? Also the sinews in Otoro was not properly prepped… I think slightly cutting the sinew in shorter pieces will help breaking it while maintaining the texture of the meat. Lastly, the small bowls for broth and chawanmushi are chipped… I’m quite sure it is not the design although I do notice the design of the bowls are special. I’m sorry but I will not recommend my friend to this restaurant. Considering the price range, it supposed to be a high-end restaurant, but it was not as good as we expected.
