Skip the beef dishes that are too well-done and focus instead on the tender pork belly and the flavorful duck.

Black sesame ice cream!! Has a peanut buttery taste and the sake was good!

The rice ball (occasionally vegetarian), is best when grilled. The heat toasts the rice kernels and results in a nice nutty flavor.

The wasabi ice cream tastes like cold wasabi. But after a few bites, you've had enough wasabi. Worth trying though.

Miso fish overrated and pricey. Skip Brussels sprouts and yakisoba. Get beef tataki and eel sashimi.

This place is so obnoxious and pretentious! They keep the music so loud and obnoxious with a DJ to make it seem hip and over the top. Don't waste your time here!

The Hitachino Japanese ale was very good but a little expensive at $24/pint
