"With only twenty patrons, two counters, and two tables, guests enjoy an experience unlike any other. The intimate setting fosters conversation and connection. Typically, staff seat guests behind the counter, where the magic happens. Guests watch Chefs Shinta Omoto and Takehiro Shinogaya at work. Both chefs trained in Tokyo and abroad and bring over twenty years of culinary experience, making them the ideal duo to deliver an authentic Tokyo experience."
"The highlight of the menu would be the kaiseki-style tasting menu, a six-course menu that incorporates kinpira, goma saba, black cod with miso, and various omakase sushi selections. It is definitely worth all $120. Watching the chef cook is a truly unforgettable experience, as he takes so much time and care with the meal while making it look so easy, as if he's in flow mode. They move with so much grace and precision."
"Producer Ryan Nohrenburg told amNewYork, We focus on the other 95% of Japanese food, not sushi it sets us apart because we have so much flexibility in what we offer, we are gonna show New York something I've never seen before here. When you order, you might picture what your meal will look like, but even Asian classics like spring rolls (which are phenomenal) arrive reimaginedor at least, they appear so to the average New York eye."
