🌟 1 Michelin Star
This is my second visit at this incredibly difficult to book restaurant (took us a 3-4 months wait) & we decided to go for the Fancy Omakase Menu this time. Chef Kazu also threw in random items that were not in the menu.
As usual, ingredients sourced were all the finest ingredients; quality & technique is near perfection!
Whether it is nigiri (nodoguro or chutoro) or the dishes served before it, like spiny lobster with uni, or smoked meji-makuro, prove just as memorable.
There is only one sitting at lunch and dinner at the handsome, curved counter.
