“This place is truly a gem. It is a rarity to find sushi this good in the US, nonetheless Des Moines. The bluefin toro (fatty tuna) is a true delicacy and is not easy to find even in much larger metros. It was delicious- we did both the nigiri and sashimi. The king salmon nigiri was also very tasty. It had a smoky flavor that was delicious. We also really enjoyed the fluke nigiri. The French onion soup was good, as was the sushi roll we had. The one “miss” was the mussels, as they were just a bit bland. The service was terrific, and the atmosphere is low key. Highly, highly recommend- this place is truly impressive.“
