Have been there many times for lunch and every time it's the same conclusion for me : THANK GOD I LOVE RAW FISH!There are other cooked choices for set lunch such as tonkatsu, tempura, yakiniku don etc., (pricing at around $100 each, good value I must say) and a lady menu with a bit of everything. Too bad I never get to taste the lady set because the sashimi calls me every time.It is nice to let go of control and just be pleasantly surprised by what would be offered by the chef, and never once be

It is nice to let go of control and just be pleasantly surprised by what would be offered by the chef, and never once been disappointed.I deem sushi as a kind of "stripped-down" experience, ingredients and "cooking" method in their bare basis so it is either right or wrong - you can always tell if one segment is wrong, be the rice being too moist, vinegar being too strong, the sushi being "squeezed" with the wrong strength or temperature etc., nothing to hide.
Even the rice roll with cucumber tastes divine - comments from a meat lover like me.
Rice cooked and seasoned perfectly covered with shiny pieces of freshess and sweetness. I wonder if the place has Doraemon's "go wherever you can door" to Japan.
For $100 more, one gets a truly Japanese treat. Be aware of some sushi places which serve Canadian uni instead or have some fat / grease added to the chopped tuna. There you don't have to worry about tricks like these.
The "sides" of chawamnushi and misoshiru must be one of the best I have tasted in town for lunch menu in a Japanese restaurant. Not even one tiny detail is ignored, my salute. The service is attentive yet not intrusive. My companion doesn't like steamed egg so it is replaced with stewed tongue or extra bowl of salad. Or once we mentioned about "taking medicines" and a glass of warm water was right on the way.
The lunch set ends with fruit or tea / coffee. Nothing fancy but a perfect ending to a stripped-down, tastebud-awakenedexperience.
P.S. This picture is posted for memory sake. Though I might miss the old menu, I do not long for it, as my desire for nice raw fish is quenched every time I visit there. Truly good value for money.
