“The sushi was excellent. We will go back for sushi. We have expected more explanation about the origin and make of the sake. There were 4 sakes we were given to try. Very little information was provided. We asked a few questions but were disappointed by the lack of knowledge. We felt rushed. The 10 pieces of sushi were presented within 30 minutes. Will we were still being served sake, we were requested to move from the counter to a table near the door to accommodate customers who were coming in. Verdict - the experience was below expectation.”
