    Our Takami evening was phenomenal! We started with hot sake, which was actually hot! I was so glad because most places that serve it 🔥. We had it with regular edamame with salt and it was very fresh and served warm. Delicious! My husband had the sashimi salad and I ordered the mixed green salad and the wagyu hot plate that you cook at your table. So good! 😊 We topped dinner off with two mouthwatering desserts! The atmosphere at Takami can't be beat. An evening on their roof top patio that we'll remember forever. Just wonderful!

    It was a very interesting experience for the afternoon tea. I put down my diet request which was gluten free, no diary, no nuts and sugar. The manager and the kitchen made the special menu just for me and everything was very tasty. I really appreciated their thoughtful hospitality and the professionist. A very elegant and enjoyable afternoon tea.
