Located in Astoria, an upscale Japanese Kaiseki and Omakase combination that couldn't be more different than it's surroundings.Rounded down to 3 stars. Over half of the dishes were good. But some of the omakase pieces were a bit below average, and that's not something you can have in the competitive omakase scene here, especially at this price point outside of the city. Super creative dishes that rotate every season. There are two different chefs, one for cooked dishes and one for sushi. It did seem that we got the less experienced sous chef serving us that day, which kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. Though he was skillful, that's not what you expect when you're paying upwards of $200 for a meal. Akami was good for the 8 pieces of omakase, but nothing else was memorable. While scallop was used in the Chawanmushi, I would have liked scallop, golden eye snapper, and other essential pieces there. Highlights:1. First course, Sakizuke. Nori cracker with langoustine and uni was unique and showed the boldness of the store2. Chawanmushi. My favorite dish here, but ultimately a simple dish that many restaraunts have perfected. 3. Chutoro handroll. Was incredibly fresh and used expensive ingredients. Overall they were very generous with caviar and uni. Which were both standard but nothing exceptional. Some noticeable misses wer:1. The rice, which Jiro has claimed to be more important than fish. Also the quality of the fish was subpar for about half of the pieces. Tough, bland, and uninspiring 2. I watched closely as the Kaiseki chef cooked the eel. While it did have nice charring, it was severely overcooked and tasted like rubber. 3. The Abalone was a bit bland and overcooked as well, lacking bounciness and texture. 5. Miso soup. Nothing really stood out in this dish. The crab felt out of place and was not the right pairing. Something simple as miso cod or homemade tofu would have been much better. 4. Dessert. Worse than cake mix. The mirin-marinated pear had a few flavors that did not match very well
