The service was truly Japanese at heart - everything was pristine and clean, the staff was courteous and helpful. Definitely a must-go.

We sat outside at the balcony/patio but needed several tower fans because of the flies in the open air... seafood tend to attract insects unfortunately and circulating the air helps to whisk the flies. For people with mobility issues I also do not recommend due to stairs to reach the restaurant, on the first floor. I love drinking ice tea in the summer, so I ordered the Oolong iced tea (no sugar please). On the table next to mine I saw they ordered the DELUXE SEAFOOD BOWL (looked good): Generous portions of stunningly appetizing slices of seafood, – Ahi Tuna, Sea Urchin, Yellow Tail, Snow Crab, Tai Snapper, Toro Salmon, Ikura and Sweet Shrimp and more -on top of premium Koshihikari Sushi rice, much like a seafood bowl at a fisherman’s wharf in Kanazawa.

Some items have limited offerings so reservations are recommended. Also be mindful that the restaurant is located on the second floor and accessible by stairs. I did not bring my stroller because of that.
