I’m on a very strict diet for medical reasons which leaves me with a VERY limited assortment of foods I can eat. I can’t eat any seasoning, any sauces, any flavor or else my throat swells up and I choke.Therefor, nigiri is one of the few foods I can eat… except not here because WITHOUT WARNING they prepare their nigiri with wasabi paste (which is traditionally tho rarely used in the preparation of nigiri in my experience.So I paid for my entire order despite being able to eat about half of it.Aside from that, the sushi vinegar was well balanced, the miso soup came hot and delicious (and without a spoon), but the sushi rice did come out a bit soggy. It is the end of the day, tho.

An understated Japanese restaurant, the layout is accommodating, the seating is comfortable, tableware are authentic and elegant. The service is professional and attentive. The menu choices are plenty, every dish was delicious. Try the beef tongue, duck and eggplant along with the garlic edamame.

It was a truly miraculous experience to go to America and be able to enjoy such high-quality sushi and fish at such a reasonable price. This was true not only for the staple food, sushi, but also for the accompanying vinegared mozuku, draft beer, and cold sake. Thank you for the meal!

Authentic sushi! You will be hard-pressed to find a sushi restaurant of the same quality, even in Japan! The manager is very friendly!

The sashimi slices were very thin and small, unlike any other sushi places I’ve been. The sushi rolls portions were very small as well, but cost a lot more than other restaurants. The service and atmosphere is decent, but I wouldn’t come back due to low food / price ratio. There are many better sushi options out here in the Bay Area.

Perfect sushi and a great assortment of Sake. My favorite - Hokkaido scallops flown in fresh each day; SFO only 2 miles away. The staff and owner are the best!

The food was incredible — fresh, delicious, great portions, and beautiful presentation! The service was also phenomenal; everyone was so kind and welcoming. The interior is also beautiful and peaceful, which really was the cherry on top of an amazing dining experience. I can’t wait to come here again!
