To be brief - the food is excellent, but the service, not so much. As to the former, about our table we had: beers, brown tea, pork belly (buta bara), grilled eggplant (robata), meat maki, uni nigiri, grilled clam (still in the shell!), stuffed rice ball, sticky yam, miso soup, dashi custard, grilled and chilled octopus, tuna five ways, fatty tuna nigiri, duck sausage stuffed quail, and many more I'm sure I'm forgetting. And it was all, with the exception of the sweet potato, lovely. We also had mochis and ice creams for dessert. Fabulous.
The service was a little lackluster though. There was some confusion with seating us, as I asked to be seated with three in our party present, and they didn't seem very well organized on that front. Then the quail took forever, probably nearly half an hour after all the rest of the dishes. And the check likewise took a long time to come and get straightened out. AS suspected that we would've had worse service if AS hadn't been fluent in Japanese.
No pictures here - AS took a couple with his phone and I'm not technically up to it today. And my apologies for the lack of details - I let this one slip for too long!
