Verdict: Did not taste as good as it looked
Will return: No
My friend and I came here for dessert only one night. We had read positive reviews on Yelp so we decided to give this a try.
Green Tea Creme Brulee ($10) with orange shiro an, vanilla bean ice cream, and chocolate tuile.
Creme brulee should be slightly gelatinous and wobbly but the texture of this was loose and runny like pudding. Excluding the caramelized top, this was literally just green tea pudding). I really wanted this to taste good but it didn’t.

Signature Sweet Tofu ($9) with kuromitsu black sugar syrup and black sesame tuile.
This is basically a solid firm version of soy milk. We broke up the black sesame tuille into small pieces and mixed it into the tofu, which added a nice flavor to it. We tried it with a bit of the syrup but the syrup tasted like medicine so we ate the rest sans syrup. Overall, this tasted just okay, nothing special.
