What people say, in short
Jōji's recommendations span the Midtown omakase and its related takeout boxes, which are different meal formats. Some diners favor the high-end counter, while takeout customers praise the packaging and convenience. Other customers find the boxes disappointing, and one diner considers the omakase poor value. An opening-week visitor would not return at the premium, so enthusiasm for the setting and format does not amount to agreement on value.
