Nodoguro offers an exceptional and intimate dining experience with a precisely intentional omakase menu that showcases culinary artistry. The 2+ hour, 15+ course meal takes diners on a taste and texture adventure, with each bite being either sublime or a new experience. The dinner lasts about 3 hours, providing a unique experience where diners are never hungry and never full. The service is exceptional, with knowledgeable and kind staff creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere among the limited seating of around 15 people. The restaurant's talent in both the kitchen and front of house is worth the high price and advance reservations. The artistry, expertise, vision, and execution of each dish are extraordinary, making Nodoguro a must for food lovers. The social dynamics of dining closely with strangers adds a personal touch, but be prepared for a nearly four-hour endurance activity that requires an open mind and a willingness to embrace a new culinary adventure. The hosts are amazing, making the environment welcoming, fun, and educational while presenting each incredibly tasty course. Wear stretchy pants and come hungry!
