    Got Wagyu AYCE and it turned out to be such an immersive and premium Japanese tasting menu! I tried the Signature Sukiyaki Tasting Menu ($98/person), which includes multiple courses from appetizers and specialty dishes to dessert. One of the standout moments was watching the beautifully marbled A5 Wagyu Ribeye and Striploin prepared table-side, 10/10 vibes. Rich, buttery and incredibly tender, literally melts! Some of my favorite bites were: Wagyu uni handroll A5 Wagyu Nigiri A5 Wagyu Ribeye and Striploin If sukiyaki isn't your style, they also offer shabu shabu and all-you-can-eat options, so there's something for every kind of wagyu lover. If you're still craving more, you can even request for unlimited slices of Wagyu meats or upgrade your meal with quality add-ons. Thank you to the staff- Ted, Shawn, Josh, Andrew for the best service at Wagyu Master, we had such a great time.

    Wagyu Master is located in the Paseo de Saratoga shopping center in San Jose. Part of the Chubby Group. No reservations but can join the waitlist on Yelp or upon arrival. We went on a Friday evening around 5ish and no wait. They have a 35 person seating capacity, dine-in only. As of June 27, they still don't have their liquor license. We were encouraged to download the "Chubby Club" which has member tiers. The standard membership is free and you can have 1 complimentary drink. They also have membership for a fee as follows: Chubby Club Plus for $88/year (now $58) and Chubby Club One for $28/year. On to their menu: They have 2 types of Tasting Menu 1. Sukiyaki Tasting Menu - $98 for non members and $85 for members. If you go for AYCE - + $20 for non members and $14 for members - this type of menu is more of the grilling side 2. Shabu Shabu tasting Menu - $88 for non members and $75 for members. If you go AYCE - +$25 for non members and $20 for members - this type is more of the soup base. They also have the Lunch tasting Menu and Sukiyaki Lite Menu from Monday - Thursday for much cheaper pricing. Complimentary drinks are Pepsi, Starry, Dr. Pepper and Hot green tea. We opted for the Sukiyaki Tasting menu, skipped the AYCE because the regular menu was too much for us. For our food: Chef's Daily Special * Assorted Japanese Pickles Zensai (choose 1) * Tempura Fried Assortment - good (2 servings of this * Poke Salad - husband loved it, never got the chance to try it though (they served 2, possibly by mistake but hey, I'm no complaining just confused) - son wanted the Chicken Karaage or A5 Wagyu Musubi but they were out of it Specialty Dish (choose 1) * A5 Wagyu Handroll w/ Foie Grass * Lobster Roll w/ Uni & Caviar - people were raving about it, that it's a must order but I was not a fan, it was too basic, didn't even finish mine. * A5 Teppanyaki Wagyu Steak - it was too hard Main Course: * A5 Wagyu Striploin w/ Snow Peas and Leeks * A5 Wagyu Ribeye w/ Shitake Mushrooms & Yaki Tofu *A5 Wagyu Ribeye w/ Snow Peas & Konjac Noodles Additional Selections: unlimited by request so we had 1 order each of the A5 wagyu Top Round, A5 Wagyu Shoulder, A4 Wagyu Brisket (we ordered 2 for this) & Vegetable Platter Dessert: * Matcha Mochi * Vanilla Ice Cream *Matcha Mille Crepe Overall, the meal was decent and pricey. There's no denying that service was great. Kudos to Shawn. Will I be back - NO. June 2026

    The Bay Area finally gets its own Wagyu Monster, and judging by the reservation book, people have been waiting for it. Tables are tough to score, and because the San Jose location is smaller than Pasadena, expect a queue even with a reservation. Fortunately, the space is beautifully designed--modern, polished, and a noticeable step up aesthetically. The concept remains the same: an AYCE menu that leans into abundance rather than restraint. The Diamond tier gives you access to an impressive range of wagyu cuts, seafood, sushi, hot pot, and enough side dishes to derail even the most disciplined ordering strategy. The wagyu nigiri is still one of the more unique offerings. Instead of the typical thin slice, they drape an entire shabu-cut sheet of beef over the rice and finish it with a tableside torch. It's undeniably theatrical. Personally, I still prefer a thinner slice with a higher rice-to-beef ratio, but others at our table loved the richer bite and interactive presentation. The wagyu itself was a pleasant surprise. Despite the beautifully marbled ribeye, I found myself preferring one of the leaner cuts, which delivered a cleaner texture and more pronounced beef flavor. One notable upgrade over Pasadena is the king crab, which immediately became one of my favorite items. It was excellent in the Hunan broth. The caviar lobster rolls were another repeat order--rich without feeling excessive--and the egg tarts remain one of the best desserts on the menu. The biggest differentiator, though, is the sukiyaki experience, which isn't available at the Pasadena location. Having premium wagyu simmered tableside in the sweet-savory broth made the meal feel less like an AYCE marathon and more like a proper Japanese hot pot course. I'd come back for that alone. This still isn't where I'd send someone seeking the Bay Area's best sushi or highest-grade wagyu. It's where I'd send friends who enjoy exploring a huge menu, comparing cuts side by side, and leaving with a list of favorites for next time. In that category, Wagyu Monster is a lot of fun--and San Jose may be the stronger of the two locations.

    My second time dining at Wagyu Master, and it's long overdue for me to leave a review. I celebrated my friend's birthday here with a group of 8, and the staff did an amazing job accommodating our party. From seating arrangements to service throughout the meal, everyone was attentive, friendly, and made the celebration feel special. Of course, the star of the show was the wagyu. It is prepared sukiyaki and hot pot style. The quality and flavor were exceptional, and every course felt thoughtfully prepared. It's the kind of meal that makes you slow down and savor each bite. Each guest receives a personal chef that prepares each course right in front of you, which makes the experience exceptional. Thank you Chef Scarlet for your amazing service. While our large group had a fantastic time, I think Wagyu Master truly shines with smaller parties. The setting and dining experience feel more personal and intimate, allowing you to fully appreciate the food and hospitality. Thank you to the team for helping make this experience memorable. I'll definitely be back again!

    Shabu Shabu tasting w/soup base of Miso Tonkatsu Broth

    Tried this new sukiyaki and shabu-shabu hot pot spot on a Friday around 1 PM and joined the Yelp waitlist. It was busy with about a one-hour wait, but it was totally worth it! The ambiance was modern, neat, and clean, with high countertop seating that gave it a stylish bar-like feel. The service was excellent--shoutout to our server, Michael, who was attentive and gave great recommendations. I had the Shabu Shabu tasting, while my husband ordered the Sukiyaki tasting. The A5 Seared wagyu nigiri literally melted in my mouth, and the Otoro uni caviar hand roll was amazing. All of the A5 wagyu was top quality, and we loved that they cooked the meat for us with the sukiyaki course. Highly recommend this place, and we'll definitely be back!

    We decided to check out Wagyu Master because it was part of the Chubby Cattle chain. We made reservations for Saturday night at 7pm and surprisingly when we got there there was no wait. I couldn't decide between the menu options so we went with the sukiyaki tasting since that was the more popular one. The experience comes with some appetizers to pick from (ex: the lobster roll and poke salad), chef's choice for sashimi, the tasting, udon/rice with eggs, ayce for the meat, and dessert. The experience was fun, but the sukiyaki was too sweet. Overall, I think this place was over priced for what it is especially if you aren't a member and have any discounts.

    SATIATED! 4.5 This was our first visit to Wagyu Master though we're already familiar with the Chubby Group through multiple visits to our local Mikiya Wagyu House and Niku X in Los Angeles. While all three concepts specialize in premium A5 Wagyu, each delivers a distinctly different dining experience. We arrived right at opening and there were a few seats already taken at the long, U-shaped bar. This restaurant offers only bar seating and has capacity for 30 guests at a time. There are purse hooks tucked beneath the counter, though a few more would definitely be appreciated. At first glance, the double-sided menu may feel a little overwhelming, but our server did a great job of simplifying everything. The primary experience really comes down to two key decisions: 1. Sukiyaki or Hot Pot, and 2 . Whether or not to add the AYCE (all you can eat) option. Along the way, there are a couple "choose one" selections and toward the end of the meal you're offered unlimited servings from three different Wagyu options, one A5 and two A4 meats. Our server cooked our meats in the style of "shabu shabu" where he gently swished the meat back and forth through the sauce. The Sukiyaki sauce is very rich and flavorful and can get a little salty if left in the pan for too long. Toward the end, we got the opportunity to shabu shabu our own meats. Initially, the pace was quite quick as we were enjoying our first selection, then the second dish was placed atop the cooking area in front of us. I'm used to a slower pace; however, I understand the nature of AYCE establishments. Once we were able to cook our own meats, we were able to slow the pace a bit. One especially helpful tip from our server was to wait until later in the meal before deciding on the AYCE upgrade, since it also unlocks additional sushi options. By the end of dinner, we were completely full and decided not to add it. For dessert, we chose the matcha ice cream and the matcha mochi. The mochi's texture was much softer and less chewy than the traditional style I'm accustomed to, so I swapped it out for the Matcha Mille Crepe cake in its place. We have the Chubby Club Plus membership and will definitely return to try the Hot Pot menu next time!

    A5 wagyu ribeye

    We visited on a weekday and opted for the sukiyaki tasting menu. The Highlights: The appetizer course was excellent, especially the uni and ikura chawanmushi and the otoro, uni, and caviar handroll. The A5 teppanyaki steak was also a standout. I would skip the poke salad, however. The Sukiyaki Experience: The main event was a letdown. While the A5 wagyu was high quality, the preparation did not reflect the promised Kansai-style experience. The meat was drenched in an overly salty, concentrated broth right from the start, more akin to a standard Kanto style. True Kansai-style requires precise grilling, caramelization, and a light drizzle of sauce, all of which were missing. Additional notes: AYCE portion: The AYCE meat was a significant drop in quality compared to the initial cuts. Dessert: Both the matcha mille crepe and matcha mochi were underwhelming. Drinks: Unlimited drinks via Chubby Club membership are a plus (excluding the ume soda that limits one per person). Final Thoughts: The meal started strong but faltered on the main course due to a lack of technical execution. I hope to see better staff training to ensure a more authentic experience in the future.

    shabu shabu hotpot with beef

    Let's start with the good - the meat is great! The servers are all kind and nice. Plenty of parking. There were open seats at 8pm on a wednesday. Then let's get into expectation setting: I think it's important to go into this understanding what you want. Do you want this to mostly be just a one time experience to try new fancy dishes? or are you trying to optimize AYCE? If you want to go for the experience, then you'll have a great time, and should be closer to a 4-5 star experience. If you're part of the chubby club and trying to see if Wagyu Master can replace Mikiya, or you're trying to optimize AYCE, then you reallllly have to make an effort to optimize your time here. First, they have 2 options, a Sukiyaki tasting menu, and a Shabu Shabu tasting menu. Both some with starters, which somewhat slows your meal down. The appetizers are fancy, but I would say, skip the king crab legs. They came out a bit tough and rubbery. The sashimi was good, and the tartare was also tasty, but these fill you up. The sukiyaki is Kansai style (Osaka), in which the first portion of your meal is dry-cooked (by the employees) to render the fat from the meat into the pot before adding broth (much later). They do a good job with this, but the pacing is slow though. Sukiyaki broth is also sweet. I was told that choosing this experience you could not switch out the broth, but the 4 other people in my party did this experience and all picked various broths from the Shabu side. I opted to to the shabu shabu experience since I didn't want a sweet base, also I wanted to optimize AYCE. However, once the rest of my party started on their experience, I was kind of forgotten about until I asked when I would be selecting a soup base (there are 4 to choose from including tomato, sukiyaki, miso tonkatsu, and bonito dashi). I selected the miso, but would try the dashi next time. Also, because the employee was busy with cooking meats for my friends, I would often have to wait to ask for additional meat or other things like water. There are 3 dipping sauces, the seafood spicy, a sweet soy, and sesame. I stuck with the seafood spicy because they have thai chilis cut up into it, but towards the end of the course, I avoided the sauce because the sweetness was becoming prominent. Other than veggies, which they bring a plate of, for the other items, you will have to ask for, which you also may have to flag someone down to assist. I got the A5 gyudon which was tasty but much too big of a bowl for 1 person. Overall the meats are good, the veggie selection is kept simple. If you're trying to optimize AYCE, stick with the Shabu Shabu and be proactive on asking for things. The cons are really just all the waiting which fills you up significantly faster, no alcohol selection, and a lot of things being a bit on the sweet side. I think the first time is a learning curve for me. I think my experience will get better in time, and perhaps next time, I'll ask to skip all the appetizers and go straight to hot pot and meat.

    We came as a group of 6 and since they don't take reservations, we showed up 10 minutes before opening to find a line already forming. Once they opened the doors though we were seated immediately, so the wait was short. One thing worth knowing before you go is the seating setup. It's all bar style with the staff working in the middle, which means if you come with a big group you'll likely be spread out and only able to talk to whoever is right next to you. For that reason I'd say this spot is better suited for groups of 2 or 3 max. I was at the end of the bar and barely got to talk to half the people I came with, which was a little unfortunate. Now the food. Really good. You get to choose between the sukiyaki route or the hotpot route, and here's a tip I wish someone had told me beforehand. If you go the sukiyaki route, you get way more dishes AND you can still do hotpot at the end. I went hotpot only and had a great time, but knowing I could have had both would have changed my order instantly. The one thing I'd skip is the lobster roll with uni and caviar. It sounds impressive but the roll is tiny, the inside is lobster paste rather than actual chunks of lobster, and the flavor was just okay for the price. Everything else was solid and the service was great. Would definitely come back, ideally with just one other person so I can actually have a conversation the whole time!

    Overall, we did enjoy our sukiyaki experience at Wagyu master given that the restaurant was only half empty on a Wednesday night. The staff were very friendly. My favorite part of the meal was the beginning. Chubby plus members get free drinks so that was a nice perk. I liked the Ume soda. The pastel de nata was not bad, but it definitely helped fill me up. I should've saved it for after the meal. The chef special was pretty good as well. I got the hand roll w/ foie gras in there - I enjoyed it. I love chawanmushi so I'm already biased there. What I didn't love was the seasoning for the sukiyaki. It was too salty for my preference. The meat was still good quality though. The donburi was pretty good, but again, too salty because they use the sukiyaki sauce. I do very appreciate the chef checking about rice portion size before giving it to us. As for the desserts - I agree with other reviews. It was a bit disappointing. The Mille cake was not fully defrosted and the mochi has a weird consistency that is not mochi-like at all. For the price, I do expect everything to be good quality, hence why I dropped it to 3 stars. (Side note: I really don't know how I got so bloated even though I don't think I ate as much as I would at an ayce???? We didn't even order extra rounds of meat because we were so full.)

    Another Chubby restaurant opened, so I knew I had to try it. There's not a lot of places in the country that specializes in sukiyaki, so I definitely had to try this place. I got the tasting menu and I did not know it turns to an ayce after the tasting is set. Poke Salad (5/5): Got this for the appetizer and it was amazing. Super fresh and flavorful. Chef appetizer (5/5); This was an absolute treat. It comes with slices of sashimi, Wagyu tartare, and chawamushi with ikiura. It tasted very luxurious and even though this place does specialize in sushi, it was amazing. Otoro handroll (5/5); comes with Uni and shiso leaf. Another luxurious dish to eat! A5 meats (5/5): Super fatty and sweet with sukiyaki. Runny egg don (5/5): I loved how runny it was and comforting with the rice In order to make my moneys worth I had to get full with ayce. I really enjoyed my experience here and I want to give a shout-out to my server Michael! He did a great job at explaining and cooking the dishes. I also loved his recommendations

    Shabu is my absolute favorite food and my friend and I frequent Mikiya ever since it opened. Wanted to love Wagyu Master, but the lack of service made us realize we would not come back. Before 6 PM on a Thursday, it was already pretty full but there were still plenty of seats available for those that were waiting inside. After waiting 15-20 minutes, we were first taken to the handicap table which we wouldn't have minded, but it was next to all the dirty rags and that's all you could smell so we asked to move. They don't provide you with the general AYCE menu and seem to push the tasting menu, but we knew we wanted to do AYCE shabu and eat at our heart's content. We placed the order of appetizers, meats, and rice. We wanted to order some soda, but there's no way to order off the tablet. I ordered through a server, but after 10 minutes and him just standing around, I ordered through someone else. The nigiri, rolls, and handroll were very top notch! This was definitely a nice to have. However we came to eat meat and not just sushi. The lobster roll wasn't very good and the bread was overly toasted. The crab croquette was just a creamy mess inside and didn't like it. My friend and I both got the miso tonkotsu broth, but it was so salty! We had to keep asking for water to be poured into our broth. The veggie plate has good veggies, but quite small in portion but you can order more if you want. We ordered the ribeye and shoulder. Both were very good, the shoulder was surprisingly better, nice marbling. The ribeye was a bit too fatty for our taste. After our first round of meats...we waited at least 15 minutes for our next round. We finally asked one of the servers and another 5 minutes, half of our meat order came out. The second half never arrived, nor did our bowls of rice. Everyone was catering just to the tasting menu diners. Everything was taking so long and we couldn't enjoy as much meat as we'd like, especially as they gave us the 90 minute time limit. I thought that was unacceptable given we were just sitting with no food coming out. The matcha mille cake was icy and gross. For $108 the meal didn't fit our standards as we didn't get to eat as much meat as we'd like. Will be sticking to Mikiya for AYCE shabu going forward.

    The first servings....

    See all

    Does everyone on the group have to do AYCE or can it be by each person? I have some people who can only do either handroll or shabu, and also some the wants to do both. Please advise!

    The entire party has to order the same AYCE menu.

    How much is the corkage fee?

    They didn't have their liquor license yet when I went in April. You can call and ask

    Do they have high chairs and kids friendly?

    They had a few (very tall) high chairs. I wouldn't say it's too kid friendly since the restaurant inside is small and cramped. Outside there's more room if tables are open. I personally wouldn't take my toddler here but a baby would be fine.

    Does their phone work? Cause no one ever picks up or returns messages?

    I don't see where you can make reservations? Does this place take reservations?

    They don't accept reservations. In the beginning, you can virtually add yourself on the waitlist. However, as of last night, we had to go in person to add ourselves on the waitlist.

    Can someone explain the unlimited meat per request for the tasting menus?

    After the main course, you can get unlimited meat until your time limit of 90 minutes is over, you can ask your server to get it for you

    Are they open all day (11-10) or close open separately for lunch (11-3) and dinner (5:30pm - 9)? Instagram says they are now open all day starting March 6th, but yelp & google say another; I tried calling but no answer.

    Is there a minimum # of people to dine there?

    No, you can get in with just one person

    How is the food? I

    Looks pretty but definitely not the quality advertise. You can go in for an experience but don't expect too much.

    How can we make a reservation?

    You can't make a reservation

    Are kids allowed? What is the age and pricing for kids?

    We brought our baby in a stroller for lunch and they were fine with it. They had a few high chairs but I didn't see pricing for kids.

    What can I say about The Anchors Team, Carlos and their amazing gracious care for their guests?…read more Nothing but PURE perfection! Tonight was my first time to the Saratoga location. We live in Downtown San Jose and remember when Anchors opened at San Pedro Square. We so love that place. Great Food and perfect service. Carlos was working there and was always so pleasant and made sure we were always well taken care of. Life gets in the way so we spent less time out at San Pedro so the last few times we went we went to get our favorite seafood we did not see Carlos. A few months ago I was caring for a client's pups and we needed dinner. So my husband Wayne went into Saratoga to go to Anchors to pick up some dinner for us. He gave me the best news that Carlos was at the Saratoga location. I was so excited because I had missed seeing "our friend". He always made us feel some comfortable. Wayne wanted to go to Anchors Saratoga to celebrate his birthday tonight! Who am I to say no? When we walked thru the door I was so happy to see Carlos ! He welcomed us with such a warm smile and was attentive to every detail including welcoming Wayne by his name! We had the most delicious calamari appetizer I have ever had followed by Creamy Lemon Garlic Seafood Pasta - TOTAL PERFECTION!!!!!!! *side note! They have one of the best Happy Hours we have experienced. We knew we were more than just "customers". We were welcomed as "returning friends". We recommend this AMAZING restaurant for PERFECT food and MORE THAN PERFECT Customer relations! This is a re-review from M Nunez...

Foods arrived promptly and we were surprised to see a many-piece fish dish served. Upon inquiry, the server mistook "Fish & Chips Combo Family Meal" with "Fish & Chips Family Meal". This meant we missed scallops, shrimps, and oysters and got just fish. She explained that what was served was lower in price, that did not impressed us. We ended up ordering another shrimp appetizer and bagged the extra fish. The server did not make any remedial offers. Just "oh well, that's what I wrote, moved on, decide what to do." That's a bit irking. As for the foods, they were pretty good. Seasoning was on the light side, and that's exactly how we liked it. Clam chowder was quite creamy. Tasty too, but you need to like creamy clam chowder first. There were two Louie Salad. Shrimp one was considerably less expensive than crab. Make sure to order the right one. But we're well made and delicious. I won't mind coming back, but probably not out of my way to do so.

    This has to be the most overdue review I've ever written. Cap't Loui not only is the best seafood…read moreboil restaurant around but also one of the best restaurants PERIOD. 5 star restaurant that includes 5 star food (shrimp, crawdads, garlic noodles, garlic bread, Cajun fries), 5 star cleanliness, and the most outstanding 5 star service you will ever receive. My wife and I consistently come to Cap't Loui for our beloved Friday date nights at least once a month. We are ALWAYS so impressed with the yummy food (we always get 2lbs shrimp/2lbs crawfish combo in Medium Cap't Loui sauce with garlic noodles, garlic bread, and Cajun fries). Wifey and I are stuffed after this but will cleanse our palate with complimentary popsicles in the freezer by the entrance. So yes, the seafood boil and food is absolutely phenomenal. But even MORE impressive is the generationally excellent customer service, in particular from Aung and Edward. They are true servant leaders and I noticed they take care of each and every patron as if they were family members or royalty. Between the delicious food and the brilliant customer service, you better bet your bottom dollar that my wife and I will continue having our traditional Friday night dates at Cap't Loui!!!!

    4.5 Stars Rating (:…read more Been hearing about Cap't Loui for awhile now, but haven't tried it until now! I usually go to Cajun Bistro for seafood boil, but I find the quality of the seafood there to be inconsistent, which made me want to try a new place. I got the 4lb combo with crawfish (frozen, fresh is $5 extra), shrimp, and clams, including corn, sausages, and potatoes. We also got garlic noodles and a calamari basket with cajun fries. For seafood boil sauce, we opted for the cajun instead of lemon pepper. I wasn't sure if I would finish everything, but it was INHALED. I really like the seafood quality here, but sauce-wise, I prefer Cajun Bistro for the garlic butter sauce. Cap't Loui does not offer that sauce, but it was still delicious overall. Service is timely and our food came fast, so thats a big plus. Only complaint I have here is that I wish there was more sauce in the bowl. The bowl had too much food, so I couldn't dip or soak my seafood in the flavor.

As soon as we sat down, Vincent greeted us right away and let us know he'd be with us shortly. We really appreciate that level of attentiveness and humor, it immediately made us feel welcomed. We ended up ordering an Boulevardier and the Agave Sting, and both were absolutely delicious. Vincent crafted each drink perfectly. The boulevardier he suggested since we wanted to try a new whiskey cocktail was phenomenal! Always a good time with fantastic food and excellent service.

They got my daughter's order wrong. My wife's entree came out lukewarm and not tasty. The raw oysters were opened in a way that all the liquor was gone and they were dry. An order of fried shrimp came out way overcooked. The baked potatoes were underdone. Service was nice but really slow. We had to ask for bread and for the bill. For some reason they left the tip off the bill. I added one and signed the bill but my receipt email didn't include it. I have no idea why. Dinner for 4 with no alcohol or desserts $230 plus tip. I don't think we'll be back.

We have eaten here many times, but the quality of the food has really suffered since our last meal. We have always loved the octopus starters here. It was originally served with avocado and then became a "causa" (a Peruvian layered potato dish), but the octopus was always very tender and flavorful. This time it was almost inedible -- tough and chewy. It seemed like the formerly excellent European octopus was subbed with local raw octopus, and precooked with no knowledge of how to prepare this ingredient. The arroz con mariscos contained more of the same badly prepared octopus, and very overcooked squid -- also tough and rubbery. The texture of the rice was not as it had been in the past either. It really seems that a change in the kitchen has lost their way. We may try once again in the future to see if it was just a badly off night, but I'm not hopeful.

Chef Brad clearly knows his craft, and the menu has a nice seasonal feel to it. Service is always warm and attentive without being overbearing, just genuinely kind hospitality. It's one of those places you almost hesitate to share because it feels like a little secret, but it's too good not to mention.

We were 10 minutes late (saying goodbye to children) and the restaurant was pleasant. Thankfully, they were still taking in orders for drinks and had not started. Drink menu is heavily concentrated on sake. Not being a heavy sake drinker, we naturally headed over to wine and beer menu. It is much slimmer pickings than the sake, but enjoyed our sparkling wine paired with the kaiseki very much. The dishes were all excellent. The thing that lingered in my mind even till this day, a week after I am writing this review, is that umami flavor bomb chawanmushi with mosel mushroom and uni (never can go wrong with uni). The other thing that I thought took more skill, attention, and was unique to the chef's background was their dashi/broth. It was a complex of flavors from the sea that all paired well together. I thoroughly enjoyed every sip, and the flavors waking up all parts of my tongue. One more part - the meat dishes were not my favorite. They just do the seafood so well. Oh! And dessert, of course, the Japanese melons were as if it was dipped in fructose lol Ambiance is dressy and date-worthy :) the elderly ladies beside me were sporting their Birkens and taking pics of their food next to it

We knew that this was an upper-end restaurant and like most restaurants of that caliber, the establishment had some traditions that they liked to adhere to regarding dress and comportment. Not wanting to cause any embarrassments, we hoped to get a couple of questions answered before we walked in. They don't answer their phone. They don't reply to emails. Their website says to contact them via phone messaging, but they don't even reply to THAT. Fortunately, there is another Japanese restaurant just one block down (Hachi ju Hachi) which serves superb, authentic Japanese food and which warmly WELCOMES its customers. We went there instead and are of the opinion we didn't miss out on anything by giving this kaiseki joint a pass.
