Sakanaya Modern Kaiseki Reviews
The omakase was phenomenal. It was a decedent 11 course meal. I was hesitant at first, not expecting to like some things, but it was all an experience to eat. I personally wasn't fond of one item, but others at the table enjoyed it greatly. I went with a large group of 8, and had a great time.The service was exceptional, and could not recommend it enough.
Amazing kaiseki experience, there's no sushi (omakase doesn't necessarily mean SUSHI). Everything was fresh and prepared extremely well. I've never had mackerel that wasn't fishy until now. All the uni I've eaten until now cannot be called uni. The course progression was very well thought out, going from light gradually to heavy toward the end. Ingredients, prep, and presentation were top notch.

First off, this restaurant serves kaiseki, their omakase is not sushi. Kaiseki focuses on the flow and art of Japanese cuisine, don't come here thinking you'll have uni, toro, crab handroll, etc.. it looks like some of their courses have sashimi but I didn't try the omakase since I don't really enjoy kaiseki. I tried a few and just didn't like any of them, it's too much art for me.We came for the a5 wagyu sandwich and it did not disappoint. The wagyu was deep fried to perfect...read full review
