We ordered in two rounds, starting with a mix of temaki, gunkan, and an omakase to get a sense of what we liked. From there, it was easy to follow up with additional orders based on what we were craving in the moment. The Brussels sprout small plate was also an excellent starter, flavorful and perfectly cooked. It is a small and quiet environment that allowed for good conversation. Overall, an exceptional dining experience.

Very nice overall experience and cuisine. People who know about Japanese cuisine can be disappointed by the rice though (not sticky but too watery)

Sushi pazzesco, mai mangiato niente di più buono. Servizio veloce e attento. Veramente una delizia.
