Formerly Wadamitsu. Now a sole owner. Food,service, & atmosphere still as wonderful as ever. Shared the fried oyster meal, tuna-hamachi-salmon (subbed salmon for 1/2 & 1/2 tuna-hamachi) bowl, tofu chicken jellyfish salad & yellowtail sashimi appetizer. The fish was generous & fresh. Will return soon.
