What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A hidden sushi gem quietly nestled in the residential neighborhood of Midorigaoka, a 16-minute walk from Kintetsu Yao Station. With a Tabelog rating of 3.61 (128 reviews) and a perfect 5/5 on TripAdvisor, reviews never stop praising it: 'The fish slices are simply huge and thick' and 'There's no way this quality sushi is available at this price.' A small counter-only restaurant that locals return to for their 3rd, 6th, and beyond visits. Cash only; reservations recommended. Visit reviews confirmed through December 2025, January 2026, and April 2026. Fully booked daily.

"The fish portions are shocking in size." "This quality at this price is just not fair." "No matter how many times I come, I always want to come back." "Both the sake and the appetizers are all delicious." "An unbelievable level of sushi" "Best value for money" (April 2026 post). Many regulars have visited 3 or 6 times. Negative reviews are virtually nonexistent. TripAdvisor perfect score. No PR deals, no fake reviews.
