MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

One Star: High quality cooking

Reservations may be hard to secure, but rest assured that it is completely worth the effort. Cherished by expats yearning for a taste of home as well as sushi purists, the tidy setting is consists of little more than eight seats, a cypress bar and that ever-present chef’s work station.The menu is built around Edomae sushi, a style that Chef Akira Yoshizumi spent years perfecting in both Japan and New York. Omakase highlights may include soy-glazed tako, delicate chawanmushi with squid and snapper; or grilled cod with finger lime and wasabi. A parade of expertly crafted nigiri is judiciously dressed and may showcase meltingly tender bluefin, rich ankimo or seasonal buri dabbed with minced green onion for a zesty pop.
