Just an FYI - there is no reason to ask or give a reason for dining when making your reservation. It is neither noticed nor acknowledged. Food was fine and this is one of the better places to dine while at the MOA.

Absolutely delicious and fresh sushi! Hit the spot after a long day at the museums. Everything was presented absolutely beautifully. Maybe next time they'll be allowed to serve sake. :)
