Waited for drinks until after our food arrived. Not the level of service you would expect from such a expressive dinner. Couple courses were good but not great. Best course was the Tile fish, next aged Bluefin, then Kobe.

Food is consider okay-good in Seattle area. their tofu course is amazing. Service is just bad, maybe its alright in normal restaurant standard, but definitely NOT Omakase standard. In the soup course, the spoon is not even served, we had to ask for it.

This was a really nice dinner, informative, lots of interaction with Chef and great experience overall. My only wish was that the pace was slowed down. All courses came very fast and at times I felt I couldn’t savor each dish, with the unique combinations of flavor. Maybe one more thing , some dishes were easier to eat than others with the utensils provided. Overall great great experience and I would totally recommend trying it out.

Kaiseki chef & owner Hiro’s vision and quality and execution were all wonderful. His tight team was knowledgeable and pleasant, and the 9-course sake pairings were perfection. One cannot hope for a better culinary experience!
