One of the best buds took me here for my birthday celebration back in February. She'd come here with her bf, from a local Bay Area ramen chef, who said he only goes *here* for his authentic Japanese sushi cravings.

Well, well. This spot definitely reminds me of others in the city, where you've got your authentic Japanese omakase experience bar-side, and the casual Japanese-American sushi rolls experience table-side. But let me tell you about this omakase experience. The flavors. The traditional mixed with the fusion. Yesssss.

I didn’t think each piece of nigiri could come out better than the next. Or even the cooked dishes! But they did. And that’s really saying something when you have that many pieces coming out and you gotta have each stand out. You can tell the chef has perfected his art.

The only downfall experienced that night was the slowness in each piece coming out. Chef was attending to another group of 7 sitting at the bar as well (they appeared to be regulars). However, he was very apologetic, and worked as quickly as he could. It did become a 3hr dinner, which was a bit longer than expected. Esp for my buds who came out from San Jose for a Sunday night dinner.

Either way, it was all that and then some. Hoping to return for another omakase experience in the near future.
