Food scene
The owner purveys the best sushi, ramen and green tea creme brulee you will ever have! He hails from the Namba neighborhood of Osaka, was a sushi chef in NYC, Miami and decided to settle in Naples. We are so fortunate! There can be quite a wait and some fish and dishes sell out early. He travels on Tuesdays and Thursdays to Miami to buy fish so we recommend going on Wednesdays or Fridays-but any night is unbelievable. The staff is gracious and fun.
