The lovely dinner prepared by chef Suzuki Kota and chef Ito was out of this world mind and palate most satisfying and enjoyed by my girlfriends Laura, Hanane, Juliana and I. Our friend Laura found the restaurant during our visit to Tokyo and we thanked her endlessly for this wonderful opportunity and amazing culinary experience. The two chefs were a pleasure to watch as they marveled over their food préparation with heart and passion. Thank you ❤️

The best experience. The chefs take time to explain their craft and the art of their culinary experience. Kindness and love and joy and the most delicious food I’ve probably had in my entire life.

Yet another fabulous meal in Tokyo! This city never quits and never disappoints. Came here with quite a large group for dinner … ordered the set menu and man, every dish was a hit! Of course won’t get into the details of all of them, but favorites included the sashimi, the grilled lobster (which came 2 ways), and the beef. Honestly it was all amazing but those were the highlights. Great selections of sake, amazing service … 100% highly recommend!
