    The best Japanese food I have had in Europe. Comparable to what you could get in any good restaurant in Japan. The quality of the fish was unbeatable and the presentation and taste were superb. The chef understands and respects his craft. I think the chef saw me enjoying his food so much that he even treated me with some O-toro! I am looking forward to travel back to Edinburgh to repeat a meal in this hidden jewel.
