Is It Worth It?
Compare it to taking the same group to a hibachi restaurant:
- ✓Similar per-person cost (usually $50–80/person at a restaurant)
- ✓But at a restaurant: you wait for a table, share space with strangers, no unlimited sake, and no private experience
- ✓With us: private chef, your home, unlimited sake, live show just for your group
Most people who book once become repeat customers. The experience is that different.
