The Shota is a high-quality Japanese cuisine restaurant that offers a delightful chef experience, featuring the preparation of nigiri right in front of guests. The decor is nice, and the presentation, flavors, and service are top-notch. The staff is attentive and engages in interesting discussions about each dish, enhancing the dining experience. The restaurant is known for its fresh and delicious fish, with highlights including the uni wagyu, fatty tuna, and a particularly enjoyable sashimi course. For dessert, the Hojicha Ice Cream is a must-try. The ambiance is peaceful, although the location may not be ideal, as it shares a building with other businesses and lacks a private bathroom. The sommelier’s wine recommendations complement the experience, making it a great place for a curated dining experience with delicious dishes and excellent service. Overall, The Shota promises a memorable meal, but guests should consider the price, which some find high compared to other options.
