Didn’t get to take photos of the food coz I was hungry. I only got tuna and scallop sashimi and I really enjoyed them. Super fresh and melts in your mouth. I like a fat slice of tuna! Will definitely go back here to try their set meals. Staff are also very nice and attentive.

What a delicious place to enjoy lunch. They have a beautiful interior with high ceilings, easy parking nearby, and a koi pond outside. They have lots of food options from donburi to udon to hibachi grilled meats. Their desserts consist of cakes and different flavored ice creams from matcha, red bean, sesame, and vanilla. I felt like their ice cream flavors were a little muted, but the cake was delicious. Staff are very kind and attentive.

One of the most luxurious Japanese restaurants in Metro Manila. According to the staff, everything here is made from scratch—down to the condiments. The restrooms are in a whole other level (Japanese toilet, floor to ceiling marble, Aesop!). You can just tell that this place was thoughtfully and meticulously designed. I recommend the Kaisendon, seafood salad (forgot what it’s called), Tontoro (not sure if I got that right but I attached pics), and of course the tempura. They also have a 10-Seater Omakase that you can walk to next door. Haven’t tried it yet but it looks good!

Me and some family members were invited here for lunch by some friends when visiting Makati. Initially we had some questions driving in as the restaurant was in a remote location, but that’s where the saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover” comes into play. The inside of the restaurant was extravagant with the food being amazing and at times exquisite. My personal favorites were the sea urchin and the wagyu on a stick. Although small and only 810 pesos, the wagyu here is really authentic having the trademark “melt in your mouth” taste when eaten. Overall despite the remote location, difficulty parking and higher priced foods, the food quality, curt customer service and interior atmosphere make up for it. A big recommendation for any Japanese food lovers in the National Capital Region.

On food, it was very apparent that they used premium quality food sources. Presentation was the first thing that catches your attention, but the taste did not disappoibt. Service was impeccable with wait staff always on their toes and ready to attend to your needs when called. The plant and flower arrangements were also very well done. None grabbing immediate attention, but appreciated very much when trying to look into them specifically.

I love bringing my loved ones here because it's just a great place for catching up and getting good Japanese food. The price is on the higher end but the ambiance makes up for it. It's an ideal date night restau if you want a more romantic quiet cozy vibes. But if you want a more local community feel and not too high-end feel, I can recommend Izakaya Kikufuji in Little Tokyo instead.

Everything was so good. Food - 10/10 Service - 10/10 Atmosphere- 10/10 Servers were friendly and made sure you are taken care of. Food were served immediately. All were great especially the salmon sashimi. It was really fresh. The oyster was really good too. You get what you pay for. The restaurant was really classy, they also have a bar. I just wished they have iced tea and more options for dessert so they can be our go to restaurant from now on. They just had ice cream on their menu that day so we had to find other restaurants serving a variety of dessert. We will be back soon! Hopefully they’ll have house-blend iced tea by then. :)

We had dinner here with friends, invited by the parents of the owners. I went with all that they recommended and the dishes certainly did not disappoint. It’s gourmet Japanese food. The raw oysters especially were so fresh. Unfortunately they ran out of hamachi but the other new dishes for me were a gastronomical delight. Service was great. Only setback we had was the adjacent table had a bunch of very noisy and exuberant guests so hearing conversations was hard and I ended up hoarse the next day. I highly recommend the dishes I took photos of. It is quite an expensive restaurant, but the food is really good.
