This place is such an amazing find. Authentic Japanese experience, food and hospitality. Everything we tried was delicious and hand made right in front of us. Fun, cozy and friendly environment and experience you won’t forget.

We came across this place and saw the sign for the oden, you can choose what you want to put in the soup, there was a little miss communication on our part and we ended up ordering two of everything and it was a lot of food! It was delicious, the broth was so tasty with the umami flavour like you would find in a ramen but a little different and a bit lighter. The cabbage with the beef inside was delicious, we also added the chicken meatballs, they were also delicious, we got egg and daikon. Everything was amazing and I will definitely be back!

The price is what really hurt the experience for me, $161 is just too expensive for what we got even if it was still enjoyable. The oden was a highlight in its simple good quality, the chicken, beef and other vegetable ingredients were cooked well, though $45 is too steep for what should be more reasonably priced street food. If you're going to charge that much at least elevate the flavour in some unique or interesting way in my opinion. The biggest disappointment was the dashi omelette smothered in truffle for $35, which was just a small serving of egg omelette in plain broth with unseasoned truffle shaved on top, resulting in a disappointingly bland dish for the price. The saikyo miso grilled fish with seasonal vegetables ($36) was slightly overcooked (texture was not as melty as it could be) and a bit on the bland side. The umeshu selection was delicious at least and we enjoyed the beef tendon bowl as it had good seasoning and the beef was tender. I've come back to use my Ginza Nana stamp credit, and this time the experience was better but still very expensive at $178 for 3 dishes, however I think this place excels at cooking beef dishes more than anything else. We had the wagyu steak which was easily the highlight (you'd hope it would be for $98!) cooked beautifully medium rare and served with delicious mashed potato and fried greens. The beef tongue was cooked well too and the mushrooms had a gorgeous smokey flavour. The sea urchin in the tuna rice bowl was very fresh with a lovely neutral slightly briny taste, my first time trying sea urchin. Minus the Ginza Nana Alley credit of $119 that I'd earned during the promotion, our $178 meal ended up being $59, extremely reasonable so I was really happy about that, it would have still been too expensive otherwise.

Perfect service and nice food. Sashimi is very fresh. We loved the wagyu beef sukiyaki and the white fish! Potato salad is a surprise for us. Good place for celebrating birthday and special occasion too! Lots of different sake!

We highly recommend this place particularly for a special occasion! Booked for 7:30pm however didn’t get seated until later as it seems people really enjoy it there and don’t want to leave - it’s quite small and was fully booked out. The cooks/waiters always said thank you for waiting and were so welcoming. Although the portions seemed small they were super filling and delicious. When we asked for the bill they took all our plates away and instead brought a dessert plate wishing us Happy Anniversary plus took a Polaroid photo of us to take home - it was a complete surprise and so sweet of them! Everyone there clapped for us and as we left after paying the staff wished us again Happy anniversary and thanked us for coming - 10 stars here for customer service :)
