I do like the new room and space more than the original.

A disappointing start with a rather flavorless miso soup.

Hmm… these five different white fish nigiri are really small. Like 2/3 the size of what he, and most places, usually serve. Some interesting flavor combinations, but pretty basic compared to that omakase takeout posted last year.

The ceviche is a mix of three fish in a bit of lime and salt, almost not spice. We’re not really getting excited here.

A piece of overcooked sea bream brushed with a little miso glaze and served over some sliced raw spinach. Really?

The same kind of reaction to the next five nigiri, plus noting that this just seems an odd order for serving these dishes.

At this point, he announced that other than dessert, our omakase was over. Umm… what? Not that we’ve been thrilled with the sushi so far – it’s fine – fresh fish, good rice – just small and not very creative – but we’ve only had ten pieces, not fifteen. “Oh, I lost track”.

And instead of five more pieces of sushi (what happened to the non-white fish – the salmon or trout or tuna?), we get five ragged pieces of sole with a bit of furikake sprinkled on them, which were good, but…

And then three pieces of a cucumber maki topped with guacamole.

And then a sort of opera cake for dessert.

Disappointing is the only thing I can summon up for this experience. Just not what it used to be, and way more expensive, especially now in comparison to the other omakase offerings out there.
