Came with bf (before he was my bf ) for a date a while back for dinner, sat at the sushi counter, the chef was very friendly and cheerful, so we thought we'ld just go with his recommendations.Lots of sushi and sashimi, all very fresh, and they were very particular about which fish goes with which sauce, this one shouldn't be mixed with soy sauce, that one doesn't need wasabi, this one should be dipped in this sauce on the side... makes you feel like a gourmet I didn't try the sea urchin sushi b

I didn't try the sea urchin sushi but pre-bf said it was mouthwatering.
The chef also presented us with a daily special he made - stewed fish jaw (or what we understood from his half english/japanese/sign language). It looked like stewed pork, dark coloured, the texture was rich like eating pork, but just melts in your mouth, and despite the dark colouring making you think it would be salty, it wasn't at all!! Very flavourful, and the soft cartilaginous bones were chewy... the whole dish was the most interesting thing I've tried in a while...
The assorted tempura was done just right, thin batter, crispy, retaining the freshness of the vegetables and prawns inside.
Had a bottle of house sake to go with it, the chef recommended it, and it went down well with the food.
We talked, we ate, we gulped down everything that was put before us... until we suddenly realised we were pretty stuffed...
Wasn't cheap, felt a bit bad that I had suggested this place and pre-bf had to take out the plastic and treat me... but for all that quality food, special attention to details and stewed fish jaw, it was so worth it.
