Fodor's Review:

The name sounds vaguely offensive in English, but in Japanese it means "house of elegance." The interior hits the mark, with tatami mats, rice-paper partitions, and wooden ships circling a moat around the sushi bar. The menu is both elegant and novel, with Boston's first live-tank sashimi, the rare Japanese matsutake mushrooms in a vegetarian stir-fry, and appetizers such as marinated scallops served in a martini glass. Bento boxes are available at lunch only.

A very good, if fairly expensive sushi place. Not the absolute best of its type in the area, but well above most. Rather elaborate interior that almost tips over into Disney-fied Japanese kitsch. Decent service.
