I went there with the expectation that I would not allow the costs of the dishes discourage me; and I didn't. I started with hot sake, which was wonderful. I ordered mackeral and a skewer of scallops wrapped in bacon. I loved both dishes. The only thing I missed was rice being served with the sashimi. The menu indicates the mackeral sushi has rice, of course; but the shashimi mackeral says: "no rice". At other Japanese restaurants sashimi comes with rice. I should have asked the waitress whether I could order some rice ala carte. We finished dinner with Japanese cheese cake and tea. It was wonderful. I look forward to my next visit there.
