" The experience was charming, with a classic Japanese appeal. The matcha desserts are out of this world—they are light and refreshing. The sushi, while fresh, is beautifully presented. The service staff were friendly, making for an enjoyable night. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible experience. The sushi was fresh, and I loved the nuances in flavor throughout the kaiseki courses. It reminded me of my travels in Japan! However, the bill was higher than I anticipated based on portion sizes. Worth it for sure but do go prepared. " (*Curated Review*)
