The servers Keryn and Elvis were very knowledgeable about the menu and helped us choose the perfect dishes for a wonderful evening. We recommend that couples interested in trying a bit of everything order the 6 and 4 course meals separately as suggested by our server. Each dish can be shared with one other person, allowing you to sample everything this fantastic restaurant has to offer. We are excited for our next visit with family and friends. Thank you to the Tokara team for making our experience one of the best.

It is supposed to balance between the two, so if you are expecting something from American Snickers, forget it, however enjoy the ambience of the treat. Great thought and care goes into making these, and if we were in Japan, they would cost a lot more than this, so these are a bargain, and you just saved air fair and get to stay in the comfort zone of your own city. I would definitely say they are a labor of love, just try to make even a simple one and you will see. We are lucky a city to even get to try these at any cost. I wish they had a number on the container so I could reference that to her website and know what I am eating, flavoring is subtle, so it can be hard to tell, yet I would like to me more educated in my palate for what I am experiencing. What it really comes down to is this is experiencing a food poem, rather than simply fueling the body or feeding your feelings. Refined, low low sweet, delicate, pleasing to the eye, thought provoking, nostalgic, a very old traditional tea sweet from ancient Nippon. I have yet to visit her place, however I pick them up from various shops around the city, go early before they run out. Check her website for locations on where to buy limited quantities.
