I have debated with myself to leave this review, but I would appreciate knowing what I know now, had I been thinking to reserve a seat.

Reservations are made through their website. I made a request approximately one month in advance and did not hear back until approximately one week before. I agreed to the seat, despite having a suspicion about why I hadn't heard back from the restaurant sooner, as I did not trust their reason for a delayed response.

I arrived a few minutes earlier than the start of the reservation, and to my surprise, a party of 4 had already eaten the first dish and were promptly being served their second dish. This was very unusual to me, as for a maximum dinner service of 6 people, to wait for the remaining guests, or to wait until 18:00 wouldn't be remarkable. I was the 5th and last guest that evening. The sixth seat remained empty. This reminded me of my suspicion.

The food itself was tasty, and I particularly enjoyed the scallop and daikon in browned butter and the prawn nigiri - a special prawn, gamba carabinero, if I can remember correctly - that the chef personally brings from Spain. As for the majority of the courses, the quality remains excellent, but a little uninspired.

Here come my criticisms. The menu is fixed at 2100 SEK with a total of 21 pieces/courses, approximately 50-100% more costly than expected. Dinner was presented without an option to add sake, as none is available. From my picture stamps, the duration was exactly 1.5 hours. This is far too short for the meal and it felt impersonal and rushed.

Each course is presented on a beautiful slate at a spotlighted bar in front of you, and it is quite a beautiful way to view the food and work performed. The guests and chef mix with the darkness of the unlit background, so the food takes center stage. You can imagine that this imparts excitement and anticipation of the food you will eat. However, this feels a bit unlike other omakase experiences, where the connection between the chef and guests is just as important as the quality and choice of fish. A peacefulness, attentiveness, and discrimination of how each creation was received was missing.

Again, dinner was delicious, but I cannot recommend it. I realize that my criticisms of the environment and service are unusual for me, as I do not normally care for these ambitious details, only food. However, at a this price point, the expectation of refinement is much higher for all senses during an intimate experience like omakase. The value is simply not worth the effort to make a reservation, and to not walk away from this dinner refreshed makes it unsatisfactory.

Amazing omakase. Everything were super good! I couldn’t imagine that I could eat this high quality sushi rice in Sweden. Rice is very important for sushi, but As a Japanese who grow up in Japan, I almost never accepted the sushi rice quality in Sweden before but Hoze.but after we heard about his kodawari, totally understood why everything so good. Amazing chef!!  Lucky you Goteborg people, I will come again from Stockholm.

Unique experience worth the price. You will be hard pressed to find anything like it in Sweden. Exquisite food and a homie, familliar, experience. We had to jump through a couple hoops to get a reservation; would gladly jump through a couple more.
