"The place is pricy! I'll just start with that. The food is so so good though.
For drinks I got the 'Kyuri & Spicy.' This drink was AMAZING! The spice comes from the ginger, so it's a sharp spice, but it doesn't linger. The cucumber comes to the rescue and gives of a well deserved cooling effect. The drink is very balanced.
Husband started with the 'Soto' Sake. VERY good! Light and refreshing! A bit dangerous because he could drink it in two gulps, it was that good. So be aware! The sakes here are incredibly smooth." – Chelsea R.
