We ate food in a converted closet, with skateboards for wall decor and Kung Fu movies playing over the bar. If you want a unique Japanese dining experience, you’ve come to the right place. Such flavorful and well curated food. Im excited to see what else they have in store.

Dude… this place rocks. A gorgeous atmosphere, set in a beautiful old house. Beams of light drift in through broad windows. Views of the railroad district, and the sunset streaming through the aspen trees. Tasteful and comfortable wooden tables and chairs. Megan Thee Stallion gently pumping through an absurdly quality speaker. Skateboards on the walls.

Highest quality food in Eugene! Such an awesome culinary experience. We enjoyed all of the dishes and drinks that were served. (Sushi, pickled vegetables, hand rolls, sake, and cocktails)

Cool Japanese restaurant setup on an old house in downtown Eugene. Host/Manager/Waiter was a one man wrecking crew and seemed to handle the crowd with ease and charm. Appetizers (pickled sprouts) and steam bun tacos were really good too.

This is the best dining experience in Eugene. 5 Star. Delicious food that looks like art on a plate. By FAR the best sushi in town. Menu: mainly just a chef’s choice tasting menu with option of fish, meat, veg, or combo. Menu lists starting $ per person, so the more dishes or fancier you want it, the more you can pay. Chef Taro can customize to some dietary needs too. I can’t remember how many dishes we received for the combo menu at $55 starting amount. But, everything was tremendous and I was full by the time we left. Don’t expect an hour dinner here. Bring your patience.. this is a 2-hour meal. Oh – reservations only for restaurant/sushi bar. The upstairs speak-easy has a separate menu and great drinks. Loved it!

A great place to eat if you want to get a 300 dollar omekase experience for 120 dollars. Chef and team are phenomenally talented and bring a lot of personality to the experience. Everything I heard it would be and more.

Tried, steam bun tacos(prime&adobo), hamachi roll, curry stew, fried shrimp, and greens. Great mix of textures and tastes. Small place, get here early.

This place blew my mind! All I kept thinking to myself was this is a place that I would open. From the comic books hanging on the walls to the rock music jamming setting the mood to the picture of Sonny Chiba hanging in the bar! This is my kinda place. And the food was amazing too! I can’t wait to come back and try more of what the menu has to offer.

Very delicious food. The taste pallet is very diverse. My taste buds woke up from monotony of salty/sweet and enjoyed every bite
