The Japanese cuisine here, particularly the omakase, is a major draw, with numerous dishes receiving high praise. Standouts include a spectacular uni, roe, and salmon bowl, perfectly seasoned soy marinated tuna, and excellent Medai and Buri.

The matcha custard dessert was described as pleasant but unremarkable.
