After hearing some good reviews about this restaurant, decided to pop in for lunch with a few friends. The interior primarily consists of a classic japanese wooden interior, with a majority of the floorspace dedicated to a large sushi counter. There is also a smaller room with a small sushi counter that seats maybe 5 people as well as 3 individual tables that seat 4. The spacing of the restaurant is very well designed.

After hearing some good reviews about this restaurant, decided to pop in for lunch with a few friends. The interior primarily consists of a classic japanese wooden interior, with a majority of the floorspace dedicated to a large sushi counter. There is also a smaller room with a small sushi counter that seats maybe 5 people as well as 3 individual tables that seat 4. The spacing of the restaurant is very well designed. However, when I sat down on my table (the 4 seater), I noted that the table was still wet so had to notify the water to dry it. If i remember correctly, there are 6 sets to choose from (omakase, Hokkaido set, sushi set, deluxe sushi set...and 2 others). I opted for the Hokkaido set, which includes steamed egg, uni/salmon roe rice, 6 pieces of sushi and udon. The steamed egg was velvety and very smooth, with a small piece of mushroom inside, slightly seasoned for taste. However, the uni/salmon roe rice was relatively dissappointing as  the salmon roe was not very fresh and didn't have the briny flavor you usually get from other comparable restaurants. The uni itself was ok but I expected it to be a better grade as it wasn't as smooth. The sushi was the biggest dissappointment in terms of freshness, with one of the pieces emitting a very strong fishy smell, which I did not expect from such a reputable establishment. The udon was average although slightly overcooked. The meal in itself was $500, and at this price, I will probably visit other similar establishments in the Central area for better grade sushi...at least during lunchtime.
