Creator's Key Takeaways

we left butcher's cut saying that it was one of the best meals we've ever had in our entire life

I'm going to say right here, right now that Kao sushi is the best sushi that I've had in my entire life.

the quality of the food in Tanyaki was very very good, I would say the quality was amazing, but the the taste is kind of dull

Creator's Tips & Advice

Go out to specialty dining on the first night because most restaurants will be empty and service will be at another level.
