We tried the sashimi platter and several yakitori options, each one more delicious than the last. My highlight was the black cod, which absolutely melted in my mouth. The service was attentive but not intrusive, allowing us to enjoy our meal in peace. I can't wait to return and explore the menu further! " (*Curated Review*)
