Not long after sitting down, you will be approached by a very cordial lady, who will be your waitress for the remainder of the day. If you are unsure about what to order, try the acevichado maki and the sashimi, as they are the most acclaimed by many food critics and customers alike. Also, order the smoky green tea, as it will make your body ready for the sublime food about to come. When the sashimi arrives, you will see it’s slimy and fresh texture and you will know you are about to eat something amazing. Slowly dip the sashimi in the soy sauce, and you will feel your mouth starting to water. The sashimi will enter your mouth and you will know that never in your life you will try anything as good as this.
