Amazing Michelin Star Sushi Restaurant. Yasu-san is nice and friendly from Chiba, Japan. He grew up in sushi resturant. His dad owns the fish market, so he gets special from his mom. Because of this, 1/3 of their fish is from Chiba. He is very creative and develops his own special techniques based on his experiences. Love the Shirako Tempura. The vinegar in his rice is a on the heavy side, but you get used to it as the dinner progresses. $280 per person. Green tea (pot) $5. Yasu-san remembered us from his collaboration at Kaneyoshi. 6-seat-restaurant. 1 seating per night. Door opens promptly at 7pm. Reservation available via Tock. Temporary location at Inaba Restaurant. Free parking in lot.
