Lovely service but fish quality was not great and sashimi selection was extremely limited. I suspect their warm foods might be better. Tea had a bit of a film on it, was boiling boiling hot (I could not pick up the cup at all during my meal, it was that hot, I had to wrap the serviette around it and sip carefully), and it had no taste. It was mainly hot water.
