"I just want to say that the experience here was not as welcoming as I had hoped, especially given its Japanese roots. The building itself is 500 years old and was taken apart and reconstructed to become a restaurant. It featured beautiful Japanese gardens for leisurely strolls, along with various terraces and koi ponds. The food and atmosphere were enjoyable, but unfortunately, the gardens have fallen into disrepair, which feels disrespectful. The koi fish are gone, and now the restaurant seems to focus on decent food—though not as exceptional as it once was—and the chefs put some effort into creating a hibachi display, but it’s just not the same as before. The atmosphere is quite odd, with R&B music blaring from the speakers, which feels completely out of place. The modern decor has replaced the original wooden floors, and I can't help but wonder why that change was necessary. I wouldn’t categorize the experience as strictly good or bad; it's just different and a bit awkward. In my opinion, many people may lean toward the negative side of things."
