First time we tried Japanese food. We went without expectations and now I know that I will not stop discovering this wonder. They recommended us without having a clue and they hit the nail on the head, yes, they recommended the most tasty dishes haha but it was honestly the best. The best are the nigiris with a special recommendation from the waiter, a success without a doubt. In short I will repeat for sure. PS: there was no time for the photo :p
