Book the omakase when visiting Kanoyama and you'll be treated to an intimate and enjoyable experience. Seats at the back counter face Chef Nobuyaki Shikanai, who delivers a profoundly personal experience. The atmosphere is cozy, and the service is warm and gracious. Sake aficionados will be impressed by the list, and diners are even invited to select their own cup from a panoply of options.Before the nigiri, that arrive cupped in the chef's hands to be enjoyed with your fingers, diners are presented with an array of delightful morsels. They all sing with seasonality and may include seafood broth with a fish and clam dumpling; tender slices of abalone; and a sliver of lobster tail grilled with a spicy creamy sauce.
