Frommer's Review

Takayama is a 90-minute drive from the ocean, but that's where this sushi purveyor shops daily. Seating is at the counter or at low tables with leg wells. There is no menu, but chef Kazu recommends the omakase, with 14 sushi selections along with miso soup for ¥3,150 ($26/£13); two diners can even split this feast. Alternatively, just tell the chef which kinds of sushi you like (there's a handy photo poster) and how much you want to spend. Oddly, a specialty here is Hida beef sushi -- but thank goodness, despite its name, it's grilled.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
