An experience!! Not just food or a place to get sushi but vibe. Music being played on a record player. Music chose by the server. Pieces of art being made right before your eyes with some fresh tasting fish. The salad and miso soup(made with fish bones cooked down to add a lot of flavor) are wonderful. Reservations are made 6am the day you want to go. An intimate group of 8 gives the chef and server time to form a repor with the attendees. It's worth the time and money.

A delicious experience. Well worth the wait and absolutely lives up to the hype. Staff was knowledgeable and presented a relaxed atmosphere. Every bite was amazingly handcrafted and perfect.

Probably one of my favorite luxury sushi experiences ever! Its omekase, which means "i leave it to you" so theres not really a menu. They have lunch seating and dinner seating. Theres only 8 seats so the whole experience is fairly intimate. The fish are fresh and they have a good variety of drinks available. Highly recommend if you love sushi and are looking for a different experience!

This is absolutely one of my favorite places in Cincinnati. I was trying to keep a secret but they really deserve 1 million stars so this review has been a long time coming. It’s the closest thing you can get to a traditional Japanese omakase experience in Cincinnati. For context I’ve been to Japan multiple times so truly this place is legit. Food: 5/5 The restaurant is omakase style, so no menu no choice, just 9 courses of amazing. The 9 course does refer to dinner. Their lunch is also delicious and a great option if you are looking for a more budget friendly option. You can also purchase extras during the dinner course and I would highly recommend it so you don’t have sushi fomo. All the sushi is prepared perfectly and should be eaten as is. That means no soy sauce dipping or extra wasabi topping. The menu rotates based on seasonal availability of the fish and all fish is from Japan. I’ve had some truly amazing sushi and some that I’ve never tried before. They can accommodate allergies but are not vegan or vegetarian friendly. Service: 5/5 I love everyone who works here! The service is great and the preparation is interactive. The sushi chefs provide descriptions of each course and background on the fish. They love regulars so make sure you come back and visit them again! Atmosphere:5/5 The entrance is located in an alley which isn’t my favorite, but it’s trying replicate the restaurant of Japan that are everywhere including in alleys. It’s an 8 top sushi bar so you need to be on top of your reservations that are only available same day. Get ready to wake up early cause the link for reservations opens at 6am and they go fast! The restaurant its self is clean and tastefully decorated. I really cannot say enough nice things about this place. It’s amazing and I recommend it to any sushi lover.

Best meal I've ever had. Also the most expensive. If you don't like sushi do not come here. If you do, you will love it. They were very knowledgeable. It was very interesting getting to hear and see how things were prepped and where they were from. If you want to go alone lunch is the only option. You have to pay when you make your reservations and when you're there towards the end of the meal you can pay extra to get extras. The best thing of everything we ate was one of those extras. It's the picture in the bowl partially eaten because it was so good we forgot to take pictures. It was an experience.
