Great night with friends, credited to one of our friends who brought us to a tasting here. A large variety of skewers (everything you could imagine.)Amongst my favorite were the the following:1. Grilled ox tongue (slightly overgrilled, but still very juicy and sauteed perfectly)2. Squid (Very juicy)3. Lychee Wrapped with Bacon (Creative combination. First time I tried this, but the mix is great.)4. Mochi Cheese Balls (Must try for cheese lovers. Remember to dip the Japanese mayo with it too.)5.

5. Stuffed Chicken Wings (Very juicy with pork stuffed inside. If you could only choose three dishes here, this one will be one of the three.)

6. Eel (This was one of my favorites. Though it it is a typical dish, eel was not overcooked, was juicy, and sauteed with just the right amount of teriyaki sauce.)

7. Foie Gras (Boyfriend's favorite. He ate 3 pieces. If you could only choose three dishes here, this would be one of the three.)

8. Baked Fish (Must try. If you could only choose three dishes here, this would be one of the three too. Perfect timing of the baking, fish is not overcooked and remains juicy.)

Of course we ordered a lot more skewers than shown, but some of the rest were not that different from what you could get at other restaurants (like grilled eggplant, lamb chops, scallops, grilled pineapple, corn, mushrooms, and soft chicken bone.)

The non-alcoholic drink I'd recommend is an apple tapioca drink. They do have other flavors there, but the one I liked the most was this one.

We ordered a sake too, 眞澄, but it was too rich when paired with relatively oily and filling food. Perhaps another option would be better, a sake that is more dry that can cut through the oil and make everyone feel "less full."

In all, could definitely visit again if I'm in the area. Great for just ordering a few skewers, or even for organizing a party of up to 20 people. A bit on the pricy side, but of definitely great quality.
