Polite service but this sushi and sashimi selection was not as nice as the first time I tried it. The miso soup was a bit cold.

Nice venue tucked away in a quieter part of Melbourne CBD We ordered a sushi plate, tuna tartare and the wagyu fried rice with bone marrow to share between two. There was a Sunday surcharge of 10% - bill ended up being ~$100 not including drinks Service was quick and the staff were very attentive.

Great service, nice presentation of food. Sashimi and sushi were delicious. The karage chicken and pork cutlet for the curry were quite dry. But everything else was good.

Tasty dishes, fresh ingredients and flavoursome, well presented menu items. Seating arrangements are limited though, and staff not aware that mopping floor for the day with strong smelling disinfectant near customers tables is offputting. Service was friendly though. Would visit again

Enjoyed the hospitality here. Staff is friendly and service was great. Ordered the Sashimi tasting box which boasts 9 different mixed seafood which was very fresh! I also got their sushi omakase which contain 12 pieces of sushi and they’re delicious! Will come back again.

It was a Japanese "izakaya" with Japanese staff. We ordered the shorter of the shared courses. I lived many years in Japan. One of the staff, Sayaka, was a graduate of the same university as my Head of Dept (at another university where I taught for 14 years in Japan)...it seemed a small world moment. And another worker there was from Jakarta - an aunt of mine moved there as a toddler from Bangka Island early post-WWII - all my aunt's family still live in Jakarta - a population nowadays of 30 million. Not quite a small world moment. But a pleasant addition to the evening.
