Went on a Sunday night, it was quite quiet. The interior of the restaurant changed a lot compared to Gunkan.
They gave us a complimentary appetizer, which tasted similar to a beef tataki. I really liked the sauce, the meat was rather rough. Couldn’t really make out with it is.

Decided to try the beef tataki and the agedashi tofu. The beef tataki sauce tasted different from complimentary one, it’s a little spicy. I preferred the complimentary one more though. The tofu was a little soggy and soft, it wasn’t really crispy nor was it hot.

Most of the nigiri were ok, nothing special. But the red tuna had a hint of sourness to it. The rolls are loosely wrapped and it reminds me of a smaller version of Izumi Sushi Yokozuna.

We tried a trio of banana flavored dessert. Banana Panna Cotta, banana cheesecake, and banana tiramisu. On the side, it came with banana bread and banana rice krispies. I liked it because it was quite distinctive and it wasn’t too heavy. The Banana Panna Cotta was my favorite.

Overall, there were nothing memorable and nothing special. There are other restaurants that I would prefer over Shigatsu.
It would have been more satisfying going to Ajisai or even Sushi Boat!
