    A totally authentic experience. I believe we were the only North American Caucasian people in the restaurant, but we were made to feel very welcome and at home. The hostess and all of the servers were outgoing and attentive. We shared a larger table with several young and attractive Asian women who were having a girls night out. Given that my partner and I were both exhausted from jet lag, it helped us to stay awake and enjoy our wonderful dinner. We had their special Wagyu combination dinner. Every single bite of delicious meat was a joy, consisting of different cuts of this beautiful beef. My partner isn’t the sort of person who likes to cook his own dinner at the table, but even he enjoyed the experience. Excellent food, friendly and attentive service delicious cocktails. Highly recommended.
