Reservations
High-touch, intimate omakase with seasonal Portuguese fish and standout hospitality; pricey but memorable if you enjoy chef-led sushi experiences.
Restaurant Summary
Hidden down a staircase, the counter feels intimate and lively: ten seats, close to the action, and a host who makes it feel like a private party. One diner put it best: it flowed effortlessly, from warm welcomes to thoughtful drink pairings, with music and conversation setting a cozy rhythm. The cooking leans Edomae—clean flavors, akazu rice, and respectful technique—elevated by Portuguese-sourced fish and careful aging. Expect clarity over flash: rice temperature, perfect nori toasting, and sashimi that tastes of the sea. If you enjoy chef-led journeys and sake flights, this is worth the splurge; if you want overflowing portions or maximal sauce, look elsewhere. Families should note this is a fixed-course, raw-fish experience with no kids menu and a two-hour-plus seating. Adventurous teens might love it, but younger diners and picky eaters may struggle; egg dishes and miso exist, yet true kid-friendly options are limited.
