On a Saturday lunchtime, I made a reservation by phone before my visit. Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted by a dimly lit, chic atmosphere that felt like a sophisticated adult hideaway.This time, due to my lack of prior research, I was a bit surprised by an unexpected presentation once I was seated. Both brothers, who are the chefs, stood at the counter simultaneously, each preparing sushi for guests on either side—a unique style not often seen elsewhere. I was initially taken aback by this.The course began with some uniquely crafted appetizers that had a twist. Given the intriguing start, I had high expectations for the subsequent dishes. However, overall, I felt that the experience lacked peaks and excitement, ending rather blandly.From the perspective of a guest like me, who traveled from afar with the hope of enjoying the wonderful ingredients from Kumamoto, I felt there could have been more proactive announcements or presentations regarding the origin and uniqueness of the ingredients served.Regarding the sushi, the rice was quite small, allowing for a light and elegant experience overall. While the pace of eating was enjoyable, those who are gourmet enthusiasts or seek a substantial sense of satisfaction might find the overall volume to be quite limited.Given the quality of the space and the unique collaboration between the brothers, I felt that if the story behind each dish could be conveyed more effectively, it would enhance the overall satisfaction and create an even more special dining experience.Here’s the menu we enjoyed today:- Corn puree- Grilled rock oyster with kuzu- Sweetfish somen- Isaki with grated daikon- Sea eel- Crustacean risotto- Purple sea urchin- Aori squid- Oume dai- Shima aji- Marinated tuna- Chutoro- Kohada- Kuruma ebi- Tachiuo- Negitoro- Tamago- Dessert
