First I saw the little beings in the edge of the window. Then, above them, bulbs that looked like rocks, floating mid air, dimmed, perfect✨ I wasn’t sure it was still open but my Joshua went on to see if we could have a little dessert at this Japanese haven-the answer was yes 🙌🏻 From the whimsically intentional decor, to the atmosphere that filled the room, the warmth and wonder was everywhere. And we were the only two people in there. Just a few sashimis and then one Kumamoto oyster for me. What a delight! Their fish was exquisite-just as the exuberant expression of when you’re feeling elated “fresh as a fish” goes. The oyster balanced originality with tradition in a complex, yet accessible unraveling to the palette, where your mind can find each of the ingredients meet each other and dance. The creaminess of Kumamoto really allows interesting alloys because of its texture. As I am writing all this, I do remember one more texture. The texture of the rim of the tea cups they served us a delicious Oolang in. Not only it looks like its own little ceramic pastry, but when you would bring it to your lips-Oh! What a triumph of design. Not only it tasted serenely warm, but it felt so luxurious on the lips-even a bit osé if I may 😋 The owner stayed with us after closing, telling us about how him and his wife open this gem in Greenpoint some time ago & how much love and precision they put into it. You can see their eye in every little corner of the place. From wonder to smiles, my eyes wandered softly the whole time we were there. How LUCKY 🍀 we were to have been in a place of excellence. Where taste met design, where they swayed along with sweetness & wits, creating a unique corner for you to feel what is the symbiosis of yin and yang ✨🙌🏻🍃✨🍂🪁🙏🏻 For all lovers of deep & quiet “wow”s… Thank you 🤩🤗🥳 🌬️🍣🫧💦✨

This small Japanese restaurant is cozy, authentic, and full of charm. The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The staff is warm and welcoming, making the experience feel personal. Great choice of sushi and sashimi. A perfect spot if you’re looking for a little taste of Japan in a relaxed setting.
P.s. I would recommend the chef to offer real vassabi.

Came here for dinner & the food was FIREEEEE 🔥This sushi spot is truly exceptional. With my refined taste buds, I can confidently say the food was nothing short of excellent. Each piece was fresh, balanced, and bursting with flavor—the kind of quality that sets a new standard. From the perfectly seasoned rice to the delicate cuts of fish, every bite was crafted with care. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were even better. If you’re looking for sushi that’s both delicious and memorable, this place delivers on all fronts.

Fantastic service and food and the nicest crystal glasses, like my mamma’s Waterford crystal set we were not allowed to touch as children 🧒
