"An exclusive, reception-style tasting showcased signature Japanese dishes — miso black cod, yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño, assorted sushi, live-action ramen stations, and abundant Japanese A5 wagyu grilled on a robata — paired with desserts, flowing Champagne and caviar; the evening’s over-the-top generosity and a personal appearance from the chef made it a lavish, immersive experience for lovers of the cuisine." - Susan Stapleton
