Our restaurant is small, so we highly recommend calling ahead to find out the wating time or to make a reservation. *We are sometimes closed on Sundays, so please check out our facebook page in advance.

A FINE, though tiny, AUTHENTIC Japanese restaurant.
The menu is extensive, and OUR food was prepared perfectly.
Service was typically Japanese, meaning perfectly courteous and friendly.
The ambiance is relaxing and restful.
I HIGHLY recommend them.
They request reservations.
Days are Tuesday through Saturday, stated as 5pm to 8pm, but best to call.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jul 16, 2024
Perhaps the most authentic Japanese restaurant that we have experienced since our trip to Japan. It's hard to explain what "authentic Japanese" is consider we only toured Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima regions of Japan. But the meals from this restaurant hit the palates of my wife and I in the right way to trigger the nostalgia of our Japan trips. We have been hitting various Japanese restaurants in Vegas, Reno and Sacramento. This place felt the most authentic.
The restaurant appears to be ran by a Japanese couple. Very friendly service and timely served with our food. Very pleasant and we would not hestitate to revisit.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 22, 2024Updated review
I find it best to do call ahead seating and confirm their operating hours. The staff are always super helpful.

What a wonderful, family-owned business! The vibe is cozy and homey, with lots of wood and only a few dining tables (so reservations are appreciated!)
We started with mixed tempura - soooo light and crisp and fresh! We then had the chef special roll and another roll I can't remember the name of but that had a super thin slice of lemon on it, which was absolutely delicious. We topped it off with chicken udon noodle soup and a chicken soba noodle soup, both of which had an umami, satisfying broth.
Service was reasonably paced and very friendly. We even got some complimentary chocolates with our check! I'd definitely come back if in the area.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 1 - Dec 15, 2023
This is the most authentic Japanese restaurant in Sac
It's a mom and pop restaurant, so it's reservations only, unless you're lucky to drop in while there are enough empty tables.
Call and leave a message for reservations but definitely don't drop in unless it's after 7 PM as they have many loyal customers who have found this hidden gem.
The restaurant feels like you're in a comfy Japanese dining room and sushi bar at the same time.
We are starting with some hot house sake - they let you pick out your own sake cups!!
We were so hungryHelpful 2Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 1 - Stephanie L.Natomas, CA, CA0231Sep 1, 2024
So fresh and incredibly rich high quality fish. Here, the fish is the star. You will not find rolls drenched in sauces or a ton of extra toppings. The rainbow roll is not to be missed. Simply incredible. The fish was so buttery in texture almost melting in your mouth. The husband and wife team are so kind and it is worth waiting for the service and quality of food you get. I also had the chefs special roll which was great but if you are just getting one roll, the rainbow roll is the one to try. I also liked the seaweed salad and my friends got the pork katsu with looked absolutely incredible. They loved it. The unique mismatched interior is quaint and just shows you that the focus here is the food, not a tacky ambiance.

Great sushi with great artistry in how it is presented. But must make reservation I order to get a table. I think the limitation is the lack of servers. But in these financial times, they can't be blamed.
