Outstanding Japanese food with a modern twist. The sashimi and sushi rolls are spectacular. The surf and turf special was so tasty. A friend had an amazing salmon dinner. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Hands down the best dining experience in Snowmass Village. The salmon sashimi was off the charts as was all of the fish. They must fly their fish in daily. So good.

Our party made two reservations for six people each. one was at 5:15 the other was at 5:30. Due to some illness of individuals in our party we combined our two parties to a party of nine and arrived at 5 PM (early). They had no issues placing us at a common table, however the restaurant was extremely expensive for VERY little food received. The other major disappointment was they could not do individual checks or more than four credit cards which could only be split four ways evenly. The most absurd part was our bill came to $350, however there was so much tax, team service fees, and added weird costs they added on to the bill that the final cost was $470. It was over $120 of an added cost that should have never been added to the bill. Needless to say, be prepared to pay high dollar, leave hungry, and watch out for the hidden costs.

This is an Japanese restaurant with top level sushi and sashimi. We enjoyed a black cod and an eggplant dish as well as all of our yellowtail, salmon and wagu beef dishes. There wasn’t a single dish we wouldn’t order again. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the food and beverage choices. We will return to have some of the same and new dishes.

Price was as expected in Snowmass/Aspen, but food was only good, not excellent. Torched Salmon and Greentail Roll were the highlights.

Great variety of Japanese specialties and sushi in a convenient location with fun vibe. Our favorites included the scallop appetizer and just about any roll or nigiri/sashimi on the menu. Service was friendly and efficient.
