it can be classified as Fine Dining. the taste of food is AWESOME. SUSHI is recommended menu to try. The Beverages nice but some of them are overpriced. One of them, I think, is overpriced SUNKIST. The taste is not SUNKIST, it just an orange. But overall, worth to try.

Our expectation were low considering the location and past experience with 'hotely' fine dish. But glad to have the low expectation first, because suprises keep coming. First, the menu is thick and almost everything on the menu is available to order which is a lot. Took a while to point our decision. It's usually cold here, so warm food would be a nice companion. We ordered Salmon Mentai Sushi, Niku Udon, and Misho Ramen. First of all, the portion is huge and glad we decided to not order the appetizer! They are also taste excellent! Close to what we've experienced in Japan. The atmosphere and service also another thing worth to mention. While the interior feels warm and soft, the waiter gave excellent service. Iqbal Hanif is well informed and provided us a perfect experience. Sadly, if we carving japanese food, we have to drive 4 hours now.

We ate here twice during our holiday in Bukittingi. The food and the service are just great. The restaurant would also rank among the best Japanese restaurants in our hometown Cologne/Germany. Many thanks!
