The food here was AMAZING. We sat in one of the cabins you needed to take off your shoes. It was like a private culinary experience. There is so much attention to detail in every dish. My group of 4 adults ordered the aburi salmon carpaccio, vegetable okonomiyaki, premium Kani chirashi, deluxe meshi with uni, and premium sashimi set, and takoyaki. The aburi salmon carpaccio was one of my favorite dishes. Each salmon was perfectly melated and had a great balance of sweet, economical and onions. The Deluxe Stone Meshi with Uni was also one of my favorites! The sea red salmon mixed with fresh uni and perfectly fried egg with crispy rice and tobiko hit the square. Veggie okonomiyaki was not shattered in Mayo, but it was a little dry with limited veggies. The Sashimi set came with a number of secondary dishes. The raw octopus had Wasabi taste in the middle, which was fine. The monk liver was delicious!!!! And the aal was cooked for perfection. Sashimi was fresh. Chirashi bowl had fresh crab and aal in it and it was delicious. The ratio of rice to meat was somewhat high. But everything was fresh and the taste was balanced. Takoyaki was hot and tasteful, but the outer shell was a little thick. Overall, I would come back here for the meshi (stone pot) and aburi salmon carpaccio and then I would also try other dishes.

We love the food from this restaurant as a returning customer. This place seems a hot spot for car breaks. We had two cars two weeks ago that were smashed to Dine. Pickup today and again saw a car with broken windows outside the restaurant on day light. I know this is definitely not the fault of the restaurant. But pls are aware of the risk when they come here. The employees of the episode seem to see enough of it. Maybe it's time to work with the shopping center to provide your customers with additional security measures.

I took away from here. Not only was the presentation good, but also the taste was amazing! Eel was tender and tasteful. I finished the whole bowl in one round!
