His menu, traversing authentic traditional and modern Japanese, includes seasonal fish and ingredients flown in daily from the finest markets and purveyors around the world. These products are brought to your plate in an array of preparation ranging from raw, off the knife seafood to 48 hour braised Wagyu beef.

A 25-by-13-foot bronze wall-mounted installation of the dorsal side of the yellowtail fish greets you at the entrance, as a hint of what’s to come.
