    Wonderful restaurant with great ambiance. A really quiet and relaxed place with a calm and nice music that just pairs well with the whole vibe of the staff. The food was amazing, everything very well made with fresh and high quality ingredients. The whole presentation of the plates were very well executed by the chef and the staff, who were always so friendly and attentive to the details in order to guarantee everyone’s satisfaction. I loved to hear the chef talking with another client about where their fishes were from. €100 per person for 18 dishes very well executed in 2h is a very fair price. Will definitely be back.

    I absolutely love this place—it’s my favorite Japanese restaurant in Ireland, and I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates Japanese cuisine with well-balanced innovation. The atmosphere is super relaxed and friendly. The chef is welcoming and ensures a fantastic dining experience. The waitress is also lovely—attentive, friendly, and always making sure you’re having a great time. I’ll definitely be back.

    Incredible omakase experience - every dish was delicately balanced and has been carefully curated by the chef. Even the sake recommendations paired very well with everything. I also didn't realise how freshly grated wasabi would taste so different from the 'fake' stuff you usually get as well.

    The food and its presentation were magnificent. The food taste was delicious, I found something I couldn't find in many places. This was eating while chatting with people I didn't know at the cafeteria.
