“Outstanding service. A long list of wines and sakes. Japan has arrived in Miami. You can tell these guys know what they are doing. I highly recommend the oh-toro Tamaki with pickles the best Tamaki I have ever tasted since I was in Tokyo. They have a seasonal menu that is very fresh. The whole evening was expensive but it’s 100% worth it. I’ll definitely go back again with a smile on my face.” – Cristian T.
