Had the 12 piece sushi for dinner. Overall, it’s good and quite fresh. Most of the sushi was good. Above average for sure. Just a bit too much wasabi on some of the sushi. The beef sushi was pretty tasty given that it’s not that common. Not sure about the “grass” sushi though. Is it a new trend ? Suspect it is ran by a father and son. Quite friendly and good service. We finish the meal in less than 30 minutes Accept cash only.

Our hotel got us the reservation after doing some digging on google maps for an omakase in Nagasaki. Great food, cheaper than your typical omakase and definitely worth while to book. We got the chef special and added a grilled fish(varies depending on day) and was really good.

This restaurant doesn't have extensive menu, but every item is fresh and delicious. Omakase with 10 pcs sushi was served in 20 minutes. Grill fish and chawamushi was outstanding.

Fantastic sushi option in Nagasaki. It's a very small place, so booking is recommended.

Recommended to me by my hotel concierge. Very popular place, reservations are required. Fantastic and delicious omakase for 4,000 JPY + add-ons. Chef and assistant were really friendly. This was very comparable to 10,000+ JPY spots found in Tokyo but for less than half the price. I was able to get a spot by asking my hotel concierge to call and make a reservation for me. I would suggest you do the same if you plan on going. In response to the ignorant 1-star bombers who got denied and pull the race card; this is an omakase-style restaurant, where seats are reserved. I was there for 1.5 hours and saw the chef deny both foreigners AND locals consistently throughout my meal. When I made my reservation, it was through my hotel concierge and I placed it under the name “Justin.” I asked the hotel concierge to ask them if foreigners were welcome, and they said yes. I don’t speak Japanese and was given a reservation and enthusiastically welcomed in.
