It is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Alberta for fresh salmon. The quality is top-notch, and everything tastes incredibly fresh.

I was visiting from Calgary and I was pleasantly surprised by this place! The staff spoke Japanese, which immediately gave me more confidence in the food. Here is what we ordered and my thoughts: Miso soup: was a generous portion for the $2.50 price, not too salty, and quite flavourful. The only thing I would change is to cube the tofu bits to be a bit bigger, but that's just my personal preference. Deluxe Sashimi: was delicious! It came with 2 pieces of red tuna, 2 pieces of salmon, 2 pieces of white tuna, 2 pieces of ebi, 2 pieces of tako (octopus), 2 pieces of unagi, 2 pieces of hamachi (yellowtail), 2 pieces of toro (tuna belly), and 4 scallops. All pieces tasted fresh (or as fresh as we can get in Alberta) and the pieces were all reasonably-sized. Cherry Blossom Roll: I'm usually not into sauces, but the kiwi sauce actually paired fairly well with the roll, and it was used in a reasonable portion. The avocado, salmon, and tuna all blended well together. The seaweed salad was a bit odd and I could've done without that part, but overall it was a tasty roll. Vancouver Roll: I love the avocado, mango, salmon, and tuna combination. This would've been an exceptional roll, but the rice felt a bit dry.
