- Try the Mango Pudding W/ Mixed Berries & Passionfruit Sorbet - Refreshing, sweet & tangy.
Bill SnyderJuly 31, 2010Try the Chocolate Sea Salt Sorbet. The chocolate is rich and intense. As for the texture, if you didn't know it was sorbet, you'd assume it was a homemade ice cream.
ShaneApril 16, 2012Awesome restaurant. If you're looking for smooth saki, go with Miyozakura or Satono Homare.

Great sushi and classy location (though very expensive)
ShioriOctober 9, 2011Definitely have the beef steak you grill on the stone plate. Definitely worth it!
Shikhiu IngOctober 20, 2012Onigiri covered in mackerel is gross! Don't get it. Chicken meatball and organic chicken + sea salt + yuzu citrus is good... All and all... Kinda meh
