Unfortunately, you cannot take pictures when your enter the restaurant, but that is also its charm. The experience of getting served one piece of sushi at a time is magical. Watching searing of a piece of tuna with a hot poker is something that is so unique and unusual it'll make you forget about the dinner's price tag. The taste is nice, no better than you will probably find in your local sushi restaurant, but the visual of the process, army like coordination of orders being shouted from Chef to his support staff is not like anything you'll ever see anywhere else.
Yes, this place deserves all three Michelin stars and yes it's worth making that reservation. No, I haven't found another omakase that is on par with this yet. Frankly, I've never had a meal in my life that comes close to this.
I wish I was a seasoned sushi reviewer who could explain in detail the intricacies of each piece. I'm not up to that task so suffice it to say that I felt forced to close my eyes to truly appreciate the pure euphoria brought on by the pieces here.
I was so honored to be served by Chef Masa Takayama himself and to be given the opportunity to take a photo with him. Thank you so much.
Every course was excellent and the sake was my favorite I’ve ever had. You pay for the fantastic food but also the service and the intimacy of the experience. It’s expensive but a very cool experience and we enjoyed it a ton.
