We shared a range of dishes -sushi, sashimi, chicken and veg. All were excellent and the Sake flight is definitely worth sampling. Loved the volcano roll.

Beautiful warm welcome and lovely service. Very charming and cosy ambience. The food was fantastic! Gyoza were the favourite, and handmade. Aburi Salmon Toro Nigiri special melt in the mouth delicious. Lots of authentic touches, Tempura especially good, and the Sushi was incredible!! Excellent value and quality.

Service was terrrible. It took longer to serve sushi than it did to serve a set of pork dumplings and chicken stir fry. They also never brought back our change (£15 approx.).

El local poco acogedor, hacía frío ,la comida pasable, el arroz estaba demasiado cocido y apelmazado. Sushi normal. Únicamente los postres era más aceptables. El servicio muy amable . Pero en general uno de los peores japoneses en los que hemos estado.

Beautiful meal served with care, skill and interest. For those of us who had visited Japan and Harajuku it was specially good - and authentic. We plan to return often.

Really tasty, wholesome Japanese food. The Miso soup is like a hug in a mug. Great service, and good variety on menu. Disappointed with one of the dishes - too much rice and not enough sauce/meat. And the only other "room for improvement" is I've always found it super chilly in there so take an extra cardy. Lovely outlook onto Bruntsfield area where you can people watch from. We always leave there feeling happy and full. Can't wait to return.

Service was poor. Starters were good but the main courses and fishy midi soup were almost inedible. My pork was so fatty that I couldn't eat it
