RESTAURANT REVIEW

Whenever someone recommends a Vegas restaurant that isn’t on the Strip we immediately take notice, especially when it makes our list of the Top 100 restaurants in the country. In this instance, the focus is on the “superb aburiya cooking” in an “off-the-beaten-track location.” While there are a number of raw fish preparations on offer, reviewers save their raves for the aged dashi (house-made tofu), which they say “serves as a reference point” for the dish, along with offerings cooked over the robata grill, ranging from tsukune (chicken meatballs) to foie gras. One reviewer described “a very special and soulful restaurant,” while another went so far as to say, “It’s better than many izakaya restaurants I’ve been to in Japan.” No wonder it’s the number-one spot to see local chefs having dinner on their nights off.
