Positive"The author anticipates that Tanoshi in the UES, a BYOB omakase spot priced at $129, might be recommended by others, though they haven't personally tried it. This is mentioned in a comment suggesting various omakase places."

Positive"Tanoshi is the best. It’s simple— Edo-style sushi. The fish is cold, the rice is warm, and every bite is perfect. I took my now-wife there for her birthday years ago, and that meal set the tone for our special occasions ever since. For the past five years, we’ve celebrated with omakase at various spots, some more expensive (some less), but none come close to Tanoshi."
