Description

The kitchen spans hot pots, sushi, and light starters like grilled greens. A standout option is the Miyazaki set for two, featuring rich, marbled A5+ wagyu paired with comforting sukiyaki broths. The menu also introduces dishes like buri shabu with a wide mix of fresh ingredients, alongside nigiri and classic sushi bar plates. While prices lean high for the portion sizes—with nigiri fish cut slightly smaller—the experience centers on meticulous technique and attentive service.
