Sushi chefs work in plain view behind the canal bar, foregoing formal pretences with chatty camaraderie, as prepared sushi rolls float by ready to be plucked onto the plates of patrons. That's not to say these gents don't know what they're doing - our nigiri and futomaki rolls were as good (and as fresh) as any we've had anywhere, and it's certainly refreshing to see a bit of lightheartedness applied to something as achingly serious as sushi has been ever since it left Japan. Decor is minimal but on the mark with dark walls, wood furnishings, and scattered plants, and like many other local places, it pays to appear during lunch (served 12:00-16:00 Mon-Fri) for bargain priced sushi sets, which - as you might expect - can get quite expensive otherwise. Overall: simple, authentic and, most of all, friendly.
