Delicious and special meal!
Fabulous experience at Kizuna. Sushi chef and owner BJ is proficient and a master sushi chef. Must reserve as small restaurant with limited counter seating. Omakase is $150,& you definitely receive good value. Although the omakase changes depending upon what is good and in season, our meal included succulent Fat Bastard pacific oyster, Chawanmushi, Dry aged salmon (3 days), Squash with yellowtail wrapped in nori
