Hard to reserve seats at this 8 seat only Omakase behind an unmarked door in Alameda. Led by a quality, experience, and diner education obsessed chef who personally selects and imports most of the seafood from Japan.
It is a personally catered omakase bar service of very high quality. They also have a lovely sake selection.
Pricey, but worth it.

The server and the chef were very rude and mean. The restaurant is hard to find at the second floor of the building with no sign. Food was ok. The attitude of the chef made the whole dining experience very unpleasant

This was a beautiful delightful omakase experience. The service was peaceful and detailed. 2 super helpful servers and 1 amazing skilled Japanese chef, sits 8. We had a great time, the fish was super fresh, the chef explained everything accordingly. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and they even added a sweet candle on the delicious dessert. 100% recommended.

This omakase spot is tucked upstairs in a small sushi bar with around 8 seats. The chef is Japanese, so the style feels more traditional, and the fish was fresh. But overall, the flavors were flat and leaned overly salty, especially the soy sauce, which masked a lot of the natural taste.
The chef was working alone for the entire room, which made the pacing feel rushed, and the plating lacked detail. The side dishes were honestly forgettable. The service felt uneven. The hostess was friendly, but the guy at the front seemed untrained and didn’t leave the best impression.
The chef also gave off a bit of a tense vibe. He kept smiling and talking, but it felt like he was quietly venting or muttering under his breath. I couldn’t understand what he was saying, but I later noticed other reviewers mentioned the same thing, so it might be a recurring issue.
We paid about $450 for two people, with one drink each and a small add-on. For that price, I expected a more polished and balanced experience. If you’re new to omakase, it might be a decent intro but if you’ve had more refined ones, this may fall short.

Out of this world experience in the middle of Alameda!
A very niched omakase place in alameda. Small but very nice atmosphere with quality plates. The Japanese chef was very friendly and humorous, and we were glad to try this place.

An expensive but worth it Omakase sushi experience. The next best thing to going to Japan.

Wow - what a special place! The ambiance, atmosphere, service, and attention to detail crafted in each course is perfection. The sushi chef is so talented and does an excellent job at pacing each course / nigiri bites. The fish is mostly imported from Japan with a few pieces from the PNW. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun elevated sushi experience. Definitely worth the splurge in my opinion! Can't wait to go back again soon.
