Known forjapanesesushiillovofine dining
A sleek, modern Japanese restaurant in Illovo that has earned a loyal following for its precise sushi, sashimi, and robata-grilled dishes. The omakase-style chef's selection is the best way to experience the kitchen's range, and the sake list is curated with care. It's on the pricier side and the minimalist room can feel cold, but the food quality is hard to fault.
