Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Perfect for foodies who want to impress - the intimate counter seating and shared experience creates natural conversation, though the $380+ per couple price point sets high expectations
Can I get a table without a reservation? No walk-ins accepted - with only 14 seats and two seatings nightly, advance reservations are essential. Book on Tock 2-3 weeks ahead
Is it kid-friendly? Not recommended for children under 12 - the intimate setting, lengthy 2.5-hour experience, and adventurous menu make it better suited for adult diners
Best For
Better for: More intimate and unique than Nobu or Matsuhisa - the hidden location and 14-seat format creates an exclusive Tokyo experience you can't get at larger sushi temples
Skip if: Choose Sugarfish or KazuNori instead if you want quick, affordable sushi without the ceremony, or if you prefer ordering à la carte
