This charming restaurant is a little bit of Japan in Newport Beach. Glass walls and high ceilings give it a very open, airy feeling. The clientele comes for this as well as for the food. There is a sushi bar where you can sit, or you can get comfortable in the main dining room while you are served beautiful dishes like fresh fish, Japanese rice and vegetables, and delicious soups. Sip Japanese beer and sake or order a less exotic bottle of wine from the extensive list with bottles from $8-$75.
