Review


This place was great! The main GF dish is a sushi platter with approximately 8 different types of seafood (a single piece of each). It is clearly marked on the English menu and ordering card. When ordering and when the GF food comes out, it is not marked, but both times, the wait staff asked and verified which of us was there GF person (me). They give you a small bottle of GF soy sauce as a gift! I believe they make everything at the table GF because my non-GF husband ordered the karage (which is normally breaded and fried), but it looked like it did not have any breading. He enjoyed it. We also shared the wagyu sushi platter (only 3 sushi). Word of warning: the sushi platter might have a piece on it that is complete white (possibly cuttlefish or squid, IDK). It tasted fine, but I sat there chewing it for 15 solid minutes before sitting it out into a tissue because when it was prepared, the was a strange of cartilage or sharing that simple wouldn't be cut with my teeth. Maybe I just don't know how to eat it! But, I couldn't chop it into smaller pieces in order to swallow, so covertly spit it out.
