    Multi-course arrangements like the salmon platter create satisfying shared lunch experiences for groups relaxing together outdoors.

    We chose the Salmon Platter which had a combination of salmon sashimi, prawn and salmon sushi rolls wit avocado, salmon roses, and we switched the salmon nigiri for Aburi salmon. It was all presented beautifully and tasted fresh and delicious!

    The chicken katsu is absolutely delicious and always leaves me wanting more. It's perfectly crispy and the chicken is never thick or tough. The katsu bento box also comes with rice, and a leaf salad with the most delicious dressing ever.
