text: I'm a big fan of Kaiseki Ryori because of it's delicacy, simplicity, and elegance.  Now days, I noticed that quiet a few Japanese restaurants are specialized in a foreign cuisine in Vegas and I am very happy to try them out :) \n\nWe stumbled upon this restaurant on Saturday evening around 5:30pm.  With my small knowledge on Japanese/Italian fusion cooking techniques, I was just assuming that there aren't many dishes can be created into Japanese flavored pasta dishes on the menu besides conventional dishes.  All I could imagine and think of ingredients were some sort of flying fish roe on angel hair pasta, sesame oil flavored dish, yuzu citron sauce, or the dish with ginger garnish.  Well, I was wrong.  There were so many items to choose from.  And also, they had 7 to 8 different style of dishes for Special of the Day. \nFinally, we decided to share two dishes from the Special Menu:\n1. \"Casago Black Mussel ($25.95)\"\n     -Very tender & sweet fish\n     -Small size of winter black mussels w/ tangy tomato sauce(it was sure to  impress!!)\n2. \"Scallop & Shrimp Pasta (under $20)\"\n     -The texture of pasta was just right\n     -Good portion for two people\n     -Scallops & Shrimps were well cooked( not tough or rubbery tasty at all)\n*I was thinking that the chef was making sure these two ingredients were comparable in size so they had similar cooking time for the best taste :) \n\nOverall, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of food and very charming ambiance.  It was definitely a cozy dining experience for me.  Maybe, they could accommodate no more than 30 customers at one time.  There are still many dishes I'd love to try out from the menu, like Black Squid Ink Pasta and some other creative desserts.  The servings are on the medium to large sizes which encourage sharing with companions.  After experiencing Japanese Italian dishes, I want to say that they are a perfect culinary marriage!
