What can I say?? We wanted an authentic, traditional Japanese meal in an authentic, traditional Japanese restaurant and we were not disappointed. This place was as amazing as the food. Small and intimate Just 6 customers at the bar facing the kitchen, watching and eating as the magic took place. I think 9 courses..so so good!! Family run and such lovely people. I want to give it 100 stars!! ...Book well in advance of your trip to make sure you too can have this wonderful experience. Ralph Mart...read more
