"just came back to celebrate my birthday with the Hubby with the best dinner we had in years! We had the Omakase menu, and the manager John and the master chef Nishikawa Shinji connected us with an apparently endless series of courses. The Grandmakase menu here sets to shame Morimoto, and is significantly cheaper. We started with some appetizers, including a dish with red snapper and jalapeño in ponzu sauce, which was perfect. Then we had six beautiful Kumamoto oysters that were the perfect mix of sweetness and mild brilliance. Next we had the Calamari salad, the very tasty tender Squid was with very minimal bread, balanced with water circles and million onion dressing. This was made by home Sesam Tofu, which was truly unique nutty and silky. The star of the show was the big sashimi platter with melt in your mouth fat toro, delectable bluefin tuna, extremely fresh large sea scallops, and tasty yellowtail, salmon, red snapper, and striped bass. The chef made soy sauce and fresh wasabi home. To follow we had the Chilean Sea Bass in a Miso glaze with Chinese broccoli and cauliflower; it was very tasteful and delicate. Then came a large sushi plate with more delicious toro, tuna, red snapper, salmon, mackerel, sea urchin, and a few others. Finally we cut it off with some green tea ice cream! We were totally clogged, but we love the beef avocado maki, so we have an order to go (for tomorrow. This was a truly unforgettable meal, and we will definitely be regular. They are also a BYOB and there is no cork fee!"
