Near the Japanese-owned department store, Daimaru, Daimonji attracts Asian visitors as well as locals, confident in finding top quality Japanese food. You can eat kneeling on traditional tatami mats in a private room, seated at the sushi bar, or at a table with a view. Quiet and cosy, Daimonji is a good place a business lunch or an intimate dinner. Sushi and sashimi feature here. An artistic and delicious representation of both is the moriawase. Another good choice is the zensai, five small starters in one. Sometimes it includes jellyfish served in a wine glass. Set menus are available. Licensed.
