FOOD

An omakase typically consists of six to eight meal courses but can be customized with the help of the chefs on how elaborate you would like it. Food on the menu includes the utterly delicious glazed stir-fried Brussels sprouts; shrimp dumplings; Sashimi; California and dragon roll; Sushi roll; tuna pizza with truffles. Yellowtail garnished with finely diced tomatoes and slivers of Serrano pepper; Pork valley; Sea Bass with wasabi mayo, Korean herb green chojang and a salad of diced tomato, green pepper and onion; Robata Lamb Chops with gochujang anticucho and asparagus; crispy Nasu with a trifecta of sauces – (spinach sesame, den miso and kochujang miso). Desserts such as strawberry extravaganza with the berry represented in the forms of a parfait, granita, and sheet. There is an expansive wine list but the sake pairing would elevate the whole experience.
