Situated in a food court type setting within Yata, this eatery has dedicated seating and more of a restaurant-type feel than the other offerings. From an expectation standpoint, I thought it'd be meh to average and was very pleasantly surprised with what we ordered.
Snow Crab Sushi - They place a nicely-sized crab leg section atop the rice with most of the shell removed. Only a pre-cut knuckle shell section remains, but is easily opened to reveal the rest of tasty crab flesh.
Salt Scallop (Shio Nigiri) - Firstly, the scallops here are humongous, easily 2X what is typically found in the US. Secondly, who knew that sea salt flakes could complement nigiri so well? The citrus burst of the lemon plus salt and a generous portion of scallop makes for a perfect bite of food.
Roasted Norway Salmon / Roasted Scallops / Roasted Fattest Tuna (Aburimono) - These were my absolute favorites and each featured a slight char to both the protein and the rice (blow-torched?). The resulting flavor was a delicious grilled flavor combined with the buttery texture of the fish.
The ONLY negative to this place was that the rice kept separating from the fish etc. and falling apart. This is easily remedied by stuffing one thing after another quickly into your mouth ;) read more
