What a great find - it sounds so simple, nothing but sardine but what they do with that humble fish is amazing. Tell the waitress you want to sample everything and she’ll help you order.

1-star Michelin restaurant. We really love this one. We booked omakase dinner and find it amazing in every course. Entrance is downstair with narrow staircase. Service is great and staff can explain each course in English. The best dish for us is flounder fish. Seasonal dish, firefly squid & bamboo shoot, is also tasty. Booking can be done 3-month in advance via a link in google map. Concierge service will support you through booking process.

I was here on my last vacation and it was probably the best experience I have ever had in a restaurant. The fish soup looked so simple but was extraordinary. The layers of aroma in a simple soup really showed me that there are levels to this craft. Even the deep fried vegetables tasted so clean and not too greasy. I didn‘t even know that was possible with deep fried food. The night showed me that cooking is art and I‘m very happy to have visited this gem in Tokyo. To top it all off, we were even gifted 2 umbrellas because it was raining that evening. Thank you so much for your incredible food, service and hospitality!!!

This was an incredible dinner experience that I had here. This restaurant is located in the basement of a building near Shinjuku station and I got reservations ahead of time. It was a complete tasting course of a ton of different Japanese sushi and food. All of it was so good it is hard to decide what my favorite was. I think it is definitely the freshest and best wasabi I have ever had in my life here. But there wasn't anything that tasted bad at all. The staff was also very friendly and explained all the dishes to us and made sure that our drinks were always full or if we needed anything. For what this place offers it is a very good value and I can't wait to come back when I am in Japan again!
