Honestly super underwhelming, especially for the price point. Didn't bring us the Sake Toro Nigiri and was brought something else instead, but no mention to it by server/food runner. Receipt still had Sake Toro on it, but at $5.50/pc, not worth bringing up.

Ehhh, it's fine. I think I still favor an omakase because the prepared dishes weren't that great and nigiri is nigiri at this level. Cocktails ordered: Highball, Tsurai, Citrus Old Fashioned, Nitro Espresso Martini, Heiwa-Chu Paloma
