I am thinking about going bc it is easy to book and fairly reasonably priced. Does anyone have any reviews of it? Would you recommend it for the 20k range of sushi?
I went there for dinner a couple of weeks ago, and actually liked it. The basic meal is nigiri only, and to that you can add some tsumami for a reasonable price. I think the neta were a bit sloppily cut, but the firmness and flavours of the nigiri suited me perfectly. It's the only place I've been to where the chef sent out a woman wearing perfume to the bathroom to wash it off.
I went twice but I can't recommend it with the price increases. The full course is especially poor value with like 4 tsumami which are just plain fish and a couple of extra nigiri. The uni was very low quality.
Hi, do you remember how much you paid? I was charged around 40000 per person for dinner. We had booked a dinner nigiri course (priced at around 20k per person on omakase website). When we arrived he asked if we wanted nigiri and sashimi(?) and we said sure, which I now think is some kind of add on since we got a few courses of cooked food., and 2 servings (2 glasses, not bottles) of sake each (were not provided a menu so he said he would choose for us). I was expecting maybe closer to 25-30k a person, not double the cost of the base course but the bill wasn't itemized
13,200. I went for nigiri lunch and would have refused an tsumami had they been offered. There have been multiple reports about people being upsold here. See https://tokyotabletrip.com/community/anyone-been-to-sushi-kizaki-recently for example. I see now there's only one course on Omakase for lunch and dinner: "Nigiri sushi Course JPY19,800". It's completely disingenuous of the chef to do this. Unfortunately, sounds very much like a restaurant to avoid now: price scalping and mediocre sushi.

You can just do a search through Q and A, the question has been asked numerous times.
It used to good value for lunch, bur not so much now.

Great anecdote about the perfume!

Can just check the Google reviews, a few people has lamented on the similar untransparent pricing.
No longer worth it for TTT readers to visit.
