Editorial Review
This tiny spot desperately needs a facelift, but overcomes ambience problems with exceptional food. Smoky shogayaki ginger sauce beautifully complements appetizers of earthy baked shiitake mushrooms and plump, tender baked sea scallops. Deep-fried soft-shell crab (previously frozen) delivers excellent crunch and sweetness, though just a touch too much oil. Among the 20-odd à la carte sushi items, white tuna is subtly sweet, horse mackerel (aji) delights with fresh ginger and green onion, and salmon roe (ikura) delivers popping freshness. The meal’s high point is a bento box of broiled eel (unagi), leather brown but ultra-tender and basted with kabayaki sauce (tamari, mirin and sugar); the flavour is rich and sweet.
- Closed Monday.
