Great for special occassions or with important guests

The toro is heaven. The ikura is heaven. But you don't want to start by asking for that. With the omakase, you let the chef take care of you. Have complete faith and you will not be let down. Although, you do want to keep letting him know how full you are. I didn't think I was going to fit the last piece of anago in my stomach. Then I said I was full. Then came the negitoro, the chef's fun way to finish up. And THAT was heaven. And it still fit.
The restaurant is very clean and simple. Minimalistic and well taken care of - sure sign of excellent craftsmanship. I noticed that the place was full of important looking people. Most of them were old , middle age and above, and in sophisticated attire. A place for experienced sushi lovers to quietly enjoy it. The chef measures up the customer. He doesn't want great neta to land on a tongue that can't appreciate it.
The heavenly experience has its heavenly price. The three of had the chef's omakase, some bottles of sake. It rang up to about 45,000 yen for dinner.
