The husband-and-wife owners prepare each piece of sushi by hand using fresh seafood from the West Sea coast, and the result is a level of care visible in every detail. The assorted sushi platter features rice with a grain-by-grain texture that encourages slow, deliberate eating, each piece feels too good to rush. Individual standouts include beef tataki sushi, soy sauce shrimp nigiri, negitoro, and otoro, while the flatfish sushi earns particular praise for its thickness and freshness.
