ambiance...good.  service...good.  sake...good.  food...good.  we started out with a chilled sake (i'm not sure with one it was...they have a big selection). they have a fall tasting menu that gives you selections for 3 courses with an added desert.  i had the edamame in sea salt, kyoto miso soup, the rock shrimp tempura with spicy aioli , and the black angus beef tenderloin with roasted japanese mushrooms and black truffle ponzu with green tea cake to top it all off.  it was all good and left me wanting more.  although i was pretty stuffed.  it also helped that it was good company as well!
