The creative sushi is exquisite, and the dishes are appealing to both the visual and olfactory senses. The pairing course is especially recommended.
In a Japanese space fragrant with hinoki and incense, there is a sense of cleanliness and an air of luxury.
The owner is friendly, and the service receives high praise. Their attitude of being attentive to customers creates a comfortable atmosphere.
In the Kyobashi area, I recommend the creative sushi pairing course for ¥22,000, which is exquisite. It conveys the seasons through fresh, innovative, and delicious dishes!
