This simple, zen-like space on the edge of River Heights attracts Japanese cuisine purists for its traditional preparation and high quality ingredients. Start off with the subtly sweet goma ae before diving into an array of exquisite rolls. Chef Edward Lam prepares gorgeous, fresh sashimi and elegant, sometimes exotic daily specials. The bar shakes up cocktails with Japanese inflection, incorporating ingredients like shiso and sake.
