This establishment provided one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve ever had. While the quality of the wagyu is exceptional, what truly elevated our evening was the incredible service led by Sasa and Kate. The moment we sat down, they ensured we had an amazing experience. They were super friendly and their English communication was great, which made us feel completely comfortable and well-cared for throughout the meal. Their personalized approach felt like an omakase experience for yakiniku. Sasa and Kate guided us through the different cuts, explaining each selection, and then took the time to expertly cook the meat right at our table. They cooked the wagyu to absolute perfection—every piece was flawlessly prepared, resulting in incredible, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Seriously, the food was amazing. It was some of the best wagyu we've ever had, perfectly complemented by their engaging and dedicated service. If you visit, be sure to ask for Sasa and Kate! They are true professionals who deliver service worthy of a five-star rating. Highly, highly recommend this spot! Thank you Reira & Riho! The service was very good. Reira & Riho was very nice and provided a great service. The food was very delicious. I really enjoy the tartar (Wagyu Yukke) and the tenderloin. It literally melt in my mouth. The dessert was a surprise. It was yuzu flavor ice cream!! Aoi and Ryutaro were very attentive and friendly. I didn't know they will cook the meat for us, so that was a nice surprise. The meat were soft and tasty. I'm glad we found this place ☺️

We had an amazing dinner! The Wagyu and Kobe beef were outstanding — tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked at our table. The service was excellent, but our waiter Hiro truly made the experience special. He was kind, funny, and very attentive, cooking each piece of meat perfectly and making us feel completely at home. One of the most enjoyable meals we’ve had in Japan!
