Came here last week with a few friends and loved it! I'd say it was an excellent experience and there were some entrees that I loved much more than others - the beet/radish starter, the truffle dish, cabbage, and the miso soup were some of my favorites. The orange jelly was super refreshing and the perfect palate cleanser to end the meal. I loved the ambience of the restaurant - calm, quiet, peaceful. The presentation was perfect and the aesthetics on point.
Love this place! Have been here a few times and each time the menu is simply delicious and thoughtfully curated. You are definitely full after the meal, but never uncomfortably stuffed. Also love that it is entirely vegetarian!
Really like the concept of new menus every month, and each course flows so well to to next, from the starters to the desserts/tea at the very end. This month, the theme revolves around the Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day) in Japan celebrated in March, and you will see helpful explanations during the meal for the ingredients or food inspired by this tradition (i.e., multi colored rice crackers). Every single person that I’ve introduced this place to loved the food and presentation, and I’ll definitely keep coming back for all sorts of special occasions.
Vegan omakase was excellent; sake pairing highly recommended! Tea pairing is also available, which-- judging by their green tea alone-- would probably also be superb.
The bar seating area is separate from the main dining area, with the main dining area having a more austere, quiet feel. Reservations seem booked usually ~ 2 weeks ahead and the tasting took our group about 2.5 hours, although we saw a single diner finish in 1.
