  Authentic Japanese Sushi joint! Finally found the place. I had a bunch of sushi but it was so good I forgot to take pictures. They have lots of amazing seasonal and fresh specials. This place is legit. Matsutake soup was delicate and delicious. The Hokkaido Uni was so fresh it was really an out of body experience- those who love Uni would understand. I used to eat it right out of the fresh cracked shell. Obviously this place is not cheap. It’s super high quality authentic Japanese where everyone is family and speaks and writes in Japanese. Service was perfect. It’s patrons today for lunch are mostly Japanese people too! Feels literally like I am in Japan. First time here and I will be coming back.

  I loved in Tokyo for 16 months and have visited Japan many times. This is truly the most authentic Japanese food I have found outside Japan. It is delicious, perfectly portioned, and served with care. The staff is amazing, and they were able to set us on a busy night with no reservation! Should probably make one though. This place felt so honestly like we were in japan that I started speaking Japanese without meaning to, and all the staff understood! A true feeling of Japan, my home away from home. I will be going back as often as I can manage. 本当日本食は、こころとおなかがうれしですよ。どもありがとございます。ごちそうさまでした。

  Came here alone and sat at the sushi bar. To be honest, the food was amazing. I'm only giving 3 stars because of the vibe I received. Literally had a waitress (elderly woman) hover over me the entire time I was eating. Felt rushed and not wanted. Food was delicious though, chefs do a great job.

  The place has a very authentic feel. The servers and sushi chefs wear traditional Japanese attire. There are also small rooms where you can sit on the floor to eat. Three service was good and my meal came with a free appetizer. The sushi was fresh.

  Best authentic sushi in downtown PDX! Traditional, yet eclectic Japanese food prepared by chef/artists. Sushi bar, tables & tatami mat rooms available. Reservations recommended.
