The omakase set menu provides an impressive variety, beginning with side dishes. After sashimi and bar snacks, vegetarian fare follows to change the pace and to signal the transition from snacks to nigiri. Sushi toppings showcase the chef’s craftsmanship, honed over many years, as well as a few of his novel touches. The first piece is tuna, the measure by which a sushi shop is judged. Unique choices include botan shrimp and shiitake mushrooms from Minamiuonuma. Eggs are rolled into Japanese-style omelettes, light and gentle in flavour.
