Fantastic! If you can make a trout taste like the sea, you've really got it. The other ingredients in the poke bowl are also perfectly seasoned. Great service. Only four tables, which makes it feel like a real shokudo with the right decor. Book in advance! Highly recommended!

Absolutely blew my mind - best omakase sushi experience I've ever had. The chef is intentional about only using trout, since it is the best local fish. nothing frozen from the coast. Each course tasted unique and special. Everything was fresh and delicious. This was my favorite food experience in Peru.
