Smart casual is appreciated. Please refrain from wearing strong perfumes or colognes, as they can interfere with the delicate flavors of the dishes. 

Sense of smell accounts for more than 80% of perceived flavor. Strong smells destroy the delicate balance of high-end sushi and intense aromas from perfumes, body sprays, or tobacco would not be allowed. The VOCs of strong perfumes cause an unsettling flavor that is not fair to the food, the chef, other guests, or yourself. 

Guests of all ages are welcome with ticket admission and will be served the same tasting menu as every other guests. As this is around a 2-hour experience on the sushi counter in a communal setting, this is not recommended for younger audiences.
