Easily one of my favorite meals in Japan! Do be aware that it’s an omakase, but everything was fantastic and very reasonably priced. The staff were incredibly friendly and spoke enough English to help understand the menu and what you’re eating. The head chef at the end also thanked us for coming as we left. A fun and unique experience that I would recommend to anyone visiting the area.
We strive to be as accurate as possible and keep up with the changing landscape of Japan’s food and travel industries. If you spot any inaccuracies, please send a report.
