For months I have loved to see pictures of beautiful, balanced, and nourishing Japanese set meals and was so happy to try one in Brooklyn. Set in the bright and fresh 50 Norman, a quarter of the space is dedicated to dashi concocting, premade dashi, furikake, miso, and teas. Food is served adjacent and you can see dashi mixes made fresh (without additives!) through clear windows by the people who work there. The other half is dedicated to unique art, pottery, and fragrances. Everyone is friendly and will give helpful advice and recommendations.
PS -shiitake mushroom had such a unique and fragrant flavor. It wasn’t just food, it was an experience!!

This is the best restaurant we’ve tried so far in SoNo! Just got back from a trip to Iceland so we had high expectations for the cod and they were met. The food is fresh, well seasoned, with generous portions. The owners are really nice and polite.
