The whole experience was fantastic. Jiho made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.. he explained what Omokase was. The food is tailored to the best ingredients of the day. Every morsel was a taste sensation. No need for dipping sauces as Jiho puts all the flavour needed into each piece. I would highly recommend Jihomakase to all.
