freshest ingredients, fun chef, and very creative uses of his ingredients. cheese tako is my favourite dish. always look forward to visiting him whenever i go to japan.

This is unlike any sushi I have ever eaten. An 8 seat restaurant where all the sushi is prepared in front of you. No menu, you just eat a beautiful selection of seafood, both cooked and raw, prepared in front of you. The freshest melt...in your mouth delights and a meal I will always remember. A definite highlight of our trip to Japan. Watching the sushi chef put together each morsel was like watching a dance. At times he would almost close his eyes and sway on his feet as if he was feeling the rice while he was sculpting it into another delectable mouthful. Each piece was artfully presented on stunning handmade ceramics sourced from Villages outside Tokyo. I can honestly say this was the best Japanese meal I have ever eaten and worth every penny or Yen. When ordering Sake you get to choose your cup from a beautiful selection of hand made pieces. Wasabi is freshly grated, the rice is warm and gorgeously vinegary, soy sauce is painted on top and the pickled ginger is home made. Sometimes the sushi had a light sprinkling of what I think was orange zest. A beautiful balance of flavours. Can not recommend this restaurant highly enough. A very short walk from the Westin Ebisu.More

I walked into this place on a whim on Monday and snagged a reservation for Wednesday. It was grand larceny that I could get a reservation at this 7 seat bar on such short notice. It's an absolutely incredibly omakase menu with truly interesting and...innovative sushi, like none other I had in Japan. If you're in Ebisu, or even Tokyo, this is a must-hit spot.More

Booked a rather late dinner for 2, took a good 15min walk from ebisu station, and location was almost "blink and you miss it" place. Restaurant had a nice buzz to it, mainly as chef is very lively and chatty (and was even willing to...take photos for diners from behind his counter). Chef demonstrated great willingness to try sushi new style, and we were treated to some of the most creative sushi thus far. Most unforgettable is the "messed up tuna maki" that tasted so umami, and surprise surprise, his palate cleanser dish of pickled ginger stem (we never saw this anywhere else before in all our japanese meals). Chef brought us through more than 20 pieces of sushi / sashimi, and was even kind enough to use his knife to cut a birthday cake that day. He was conversant in English, and explains each dish for us in English as well. Our booking was via pocket concierge (number 1 tuna omakase with 1 drink), and no issues at all when we were there (the chef recognised us right away as we seem to be the only gaijin for that time slot, the rest being local). However, the only issue we had was the chef's liberal use of wasabi. My partner and i are huge Japanese cuisine fans, so normal wasabi was not an issue for us, but that night's sushi seemed abit heavy handed on the wasabi. Not wanting to disrupt the chef's rhythm, and also out of courtesy that perhaps his style leans towards wasabi use), we did not raise it to the chef (as other diners seem to be ok). All in, it was an enjoyable meal of creative sushi at a very high level.More

We got to know of this place from an online blog and got our host in Tokyo to make a reservation for us. As the place is relatively small (holds about 12 guests), reservation is definitely recommended. We went there for the omakase lunch and...it was such a good experience! Loved how the chef incorporated different seasonings into the sushi, like lemon zest. We paid around SGD60 for lunch. Dinner I believe is about twice the cost. A must go if you are in the area! The restaurant is about ten minutes walk from the Westin hotel in Ebisu.More

A fabulous sushi experience, there is no choice, you take the chef's menu which is made in front of your eyes. All sorts of weird and wonderful fish, roes, beautifully prepared and melt in the mouth fresh. Great seasonings (chef suggests when you might want...to add your own soy or wasabi), lots of yuzu and some delicious salted ginger in addition to the usual pickled variety. Highlights included hot sushi with crab and quails egg, smoked roe, exquisite fatty tuna, miso soup that owed more to a bouillabaisse than a japanese soup, and a truly delicious dessert of green tea jelly with salted ice cream (probably the only time we have ever had a nice Japanese dessert!). Well worth the visit for a really special experience. Top hint: this is a tiny restaurant tricky to find and with only 8 places at a sitting. You need to book and you need to check with the bank manager first..there are no prices for the meal just a bill. No cards taken, so take £200 per head and you should be okay.More

I was quite surprised to find out this place had so few reviews.Despite the language barrier we were able to book.The place is really hard to find but it's really welcoming and elegant .The chef is really nice and he explains every sushi piece in...english.This is not the traditional sushi place,here u can find traditional sushi and some classics revisited.We had some amazing pieces combining traditional sushi and kaiseki cooking that made this place the best place we ate in Japan by far.Definitely not cheap but for sure worth the money,we paid 140 euro but even for 200 it would have been fair.In one word awesome.More

A very small establishment that is known by few. Not the easiest place to find and there is no English menu. A Japanese friend brought me to this place and we had the most exquisite servings of sushi and other small dishes that used the...best of local produce available from different parts of Japan. Not inexpensive by Japanese standards but I walked away amazed and extremely satisfied.More
