    “This is one of my favorite restaurants in the entire world. It gets busy and they don’t take reservations. small plates and everything is so yummy. We always order a bottle of sake, cold and unfiltered is my personal favorite. It’s a little more sweet in general than filtered. They bring out a tray of hand made (and all unique) sake cups and let you pick which one you want to drink out of, how freaking amazing is that?! Unfortunately I went recently and I felt like it wasn’t AS good as it had been but still 10/10. Just goes to show you how good it has been in the past. But honestly with the current food prices you can’t blame restaurants for hurting.”
