Charming

The authentic ambiance of giant lanterns, Japanese style watercolor thick brush artwork along the walls and hanging cedar leaves – a traditional sign of fresh sake – sets the stage for an unparalleled dining experience.

The menu is a delightful journey through the best of Japanese cuisine, offering a modern twist on shared sushi platters and sake bars. Each dish is a masterpiece, crafted with premium toro imported directly from Japan, ensuring every bite is as authentic as it is delicious.

The sushi chefs, true artisans of their craft and spearheaded by 3 Chefs directly imported from Japan, work with a precision and passion that's palpable.

Pairing the meal with their extensive sake list, featuring selections that perfectly complement the sushi, is a must. For those looking for something a bit different, the inventive cocktails provide a refreshing counterpoint to the rich flavors of the food.

Lunch for two - meeting - we each had the special lunch (they say 10 servings per day - no problem getting two at noon) Fish was very fresh, pleasant and efficient service and easy to hold a conversation.

Took my friend for his birthday lunch. We both had the ramen and sushi lunch combo. Sushi was fresh and the ramen was delicious. A great experience! Staff were very friendly. They even brought out a birthday dessert!

Great appetizers. Agedashi tofu is as really good. Unfortunately, maki sushi was awful. The roll was loose, large chunks of fish/vegetables.

What a great new spot. We went for the dine out Boston special, but we will be back for sure. The service is wonderful, the quality of the fish was excellent and authentic. The cocktails are very good too! I wish this place much success!

Excellent value if you go for lunch (as we did)! Go early to try to get one of their 10-orders-only Sashimi Boat (can't say for sure if it's a marketing ploy or if they really limit it to only 10 orders); either way, great value. Also, I note it's one of the few places anywhere in the Boston area where you can get Ankimo (monkfish liver), and quality ankimo at that! It is probably worth noting that if you are expecting a freebie for a special occasion, you should not expect one, but maybe their policy is different for dinner.

Interesting fusion creations. Tried the foie gras from the sea (monk fish liver) which was an interesting take on four...you could still taste the liver but you never know it was monkfish. Sweet and sour friends (karaage fried chicken with a tartar sauce) was an interesting take on beer batter fish and chips. The dragon roll was amazing...highly recommend because it had so much eel.
