Reviews
"Delicious from start to finish. And we did the saki pairing to make it even better. If you love the food of Japan this is the best place to go. We did the introductory set menu and there wasn’t a dish we didn’t like - there were four of us. Delicate sashimi and sushi. Lovely karage chicken. Great piece of beefNext time (and there will be a next time) we’ll do the whole hog (it’s not called that). You have to book."
"Amazing to have a kaiseki/omakase experience like this in Wellington! Everything we had was exceptional and dietary requirements were catered for. I especially loved the sashimi and my husband adored the tempura and potato salad. The service was amazing and it was very well worth it for us. We will definitely be back!"
"What a lovely dining experience... everything was just so excellent. To the polite informative service, beautifully presented food, tasty dishes, all in a gentle atmosphere. We ordered the $74. special set menu... which consists of 6 servings of different foods... absolutely all delicious. My favourites were the first 2 dishes, of which I photographed... the raw fish yummo!!! Other dishes... Tempura prawn, and cauliflower, Rare beef, Katsu chicken, and lamb cutlet. Admittedly there was just one negative, the beef, and lamb dish, I felt there was too much sauce on the meat, which for me ruined it. We would definitely go back though, very enjoyable dining."
"What an incredible experience! We went for the first time for my birthday and we will definitely come back for other special occasions. We had the signature set menu with Sake pairing + additional wagyu beef shabu shabu and desserts. The food was amazing, beautifully presented and well portioned. We were surprised at how generous the sake pairing was! 4 different sake and enough for 4-6 cups each! Special mention to the sake produced in Queenstown, it was our favorite from the selection. The service is outstanding, they went above and beyond to accommodate my husband's shellfish allergy. The little birthday card on the table and the candle with my dessert was a lovely attention. The space is small but it feels cosy and almost "homely". Would recommend to book well in advance if you want to experience this fine dining."
"Food was delicious! Staff were phenomenal, really went above and beyond, after incidentally finding out we were there for a birthday dinner they placed something special on the table for us AND sent the dessert with a candle of their own volition. Can't thank them enough."
