Tempura exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Tempura made with real commitment to sake and technique. The clean and umami-forward result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

Japanese cuisine philosophy of shokunin craftsmanship shapes how even simple dishes are prepared. The a high-end kaiseki setting was exactly right for this kind of eating. green tea was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
