There are two small tatami-style dining areas, evoking an
old-time Tokyo restaurant. The seafood is flown in daily from Tokyo's Tsukiji
fish market.
If you’re in search of great sushi, it’s advised to pull
up a seat to witness this artisitic process close up. Park yourself at the sushi
counter manned by a Japanese master working continuously and silently where he
will perform his art right in front of you. The chef runs a sharp knife swiftly
through the fish of your choice—otoro (fatty tuna), chutoro (medium fat) or
akami (no fat)—and before you know it, the bite-size rice topped with fish has
appeared magically on the plate in front of you.
Each selection is fresh
and firm ...shrimp, scallops, squid, and salmon while he grilled eel, brushed
with home-brewed soy, is slightly sweet and tasty. Warm sake is your best choice
for drinking with quality Japanese cuisine. Reservations are a must for this
dinner-only Chaoyang gem.
