Looking so simple yet it was one of the most memorable dishes I had in my trip, make SURE to order the shishito peppers! flavorful, delicious and not spicy. The bowl is quite big but it leaves you wanting more, they are addictive!

For Main course we had the bento Salmon box and the Ahi tuna "pizza" they were both delicious. I would say the "pizza" is more of a flatbread. The generous pieces of delicious ahi tuna and the perfectly cooked salmon leaves you with a happy full! Not your typical overly heavy American dishes. I was happily impressed and glad I had a little tiny room for dessert.....

Overall the resort was exactly as its name suggests, a Sanctuary on a beautiful mountain in the middle of a city. Beautiful and peaceful, easy to reach and incredible food! I look forward to staying visiting again!
