Chef Shinichiro Kanemaru runs the room with the kind of intimacy a 10-seat counter demands, and at roughly $195 per person it sits in a more attainable splurge bracket than some of the city's four-figure-adjacent omakase rooms, even if one OpenTable reviewer still called the price 'a bit steep.' The format is business casual rather than stuffy, with staggered seating times across the evening to keep the counter moving through multiple parties a night.
It's a reservation-only experience booked through OpenTable, credit card only (no Apple Pay at the moment), and a genuinely different kind of destination than what the building's ground floor would suggest from the street.
