We have served not just the great food experience – but the full experience since 1994. We consider ourselves a cross between a Japanese traditionalist and a Danish anarchist - we offer food that bears the mark of creative interpretations inspired by Japanese and Nordic cuisine. And we have something for everyone - for the hungry stomach and the curious taste buds. We serve fresh sushi; grilled yakitori sticks; crispy salads and sweet desserts.
