   The experience, service, and food was incredible. Unfortunately there were two people who decided that having a very loud conversation was appropriate. That was not the issue, using vulgar language was highly inappropriate. The staff did not speak to the individuals, which I can understand. But the experience and price of the meal, demanded the staff intervene. Finally I asked the pair to stop with vulgar language. And I was met with a singular comment “free speech”. This was disrespectful to the chef, staff, and other patrons, and ruined out experience

   Very good service. Food is great too. Very neat and tidy dinning room, very Japanese style, peaceful atmosphere. Will come back.

   Food was amazing, every bite was an experience, and watching the chef make each one was a real treat. It was very quiet, a little piano music or something I think would have been nice to help with the atmosphere but that is really nitpicking. Loved our evening! 16 courses was almost too much!

   Kanemaru-san delivers an authentic Japanese sushi meal with grace and good humor. His kyubei credentials are very evident in his delicious otsumami and sushi. Highly recommended as a previous Tokyo resident.

   The dinner was outstanding. Chef Kanemaru service and selection of the items in the course meal was very good. We really enjoyed the fatty tuna and sea urchin. The quality and taste of the food resembles what you could get in a high end sushi place in Japan. I highy recommend this place without any hesitation.

   Chef prepared a wonderful menu with a front row view of the sashimi service. 8-10 seats per service. Drink options were excellent and service was fantastic.

   Exquisite. The entire two-hour experience was flawless, with the expert chef preparing every perfect bite in front of us … 16 courses of perfect bites with gorgeous, thoughtful preparation and service. My usual sushi pales in comparison. A very special dinner.

    Stellar journey of nagiri and small bites. The flavors and textures and expertly made the focal point. This is the most unadulterated omakase experience I've had. I enjoyed it very much. Highly recommend
