| Reviews: | "Organic vegetables! (I´m a vegetarian. My friends who are not, say the fish is great). The owner is a potter who studied in Japan and has a huge anagama kiln. He makes all the bowls, plates, serving dishes etc. that are used in the restaurant. They are beautiful and add to the ambiance. It´s a small restaurant, but well done." |

| "I have visited sushi restaurants around the US and many international...This is clearly one of the BEST!! Top notch sushi is not to be expected in western Massachusetts, but believe me this place is worth going out of the way for! They recently expanded the restaurant and added private booths ($10 table charge), a fantastic Robata grill, and an expanded sake selection. Try the Bizen tartar with a quails egg if you are adventurous!! " | |

| "Never have I been so led astray by the Sushi Guide. The sushi was lack luster, and the service just plain horrible. It took a solid hour for our salads to arrive. It was nice to be in a tatatmi room, b/c I was able to get in a little nap while waiting for the food to come." | |

| "I couldn't agree more. Some of the worst service I've ever had. I've been there several times and never had timely service. The food was always good, environment beautiful, but don't go hungry." | |

| "I could not dissagree more with the previous two reviews!!! I recently visited Bizen and I was astonished by the quality of the sushi. All the fish was fresh, organic, and delightful. The service was good (the food arrived 10 minutes after I ordered) and the atmosphere in Bizen is un-comparable to any Japaneese rusturant I've ever been to in my life. Bizen has some of the best cousine that I have ever experienced in my life!!! Thanks Bizen [Feb 12th 2006] ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------- This place gets busy on Saturday nights but I have never waited very long for food. It is one of the best sushi places I have been to and I work and eat in NYC. " | |

| Review: | " Sushi two times a day? YES!! See a movie--have Sushi before or after. The Sushi Bar is up stairs, the dining is outside and down the stairs. A cool place to have a drink and the food kick it up a notch and ask for everything extra hot. " |

| Review: | " First sushi restaurant in Great Barrington (1985?). Kintaro is owned and operated by Chef Hideo Kukuchi. Everything is wonderful, and one can almost always get a table. In a town where there are 7 places to get sushi, this is the place to go. " |

| Review: | " I was visiting a new account of my kayak company and was going to eat at BIZEN as it has received good write ups un the Sushi World Guide when I pased SHIRO and thought to have lunch there. There Sushi bar is very small with only 5 places, most of the dinners were at tables.I ordered the LOBSTER TEMPURA ROLL (lobster;scallion;inside/out with avocado and caviar) and two pieces of NUI with egg on the sushi;and Shiro hade just gotten in fresh Scallop which I had mixed with a hot special sauce. It was very good food. " |
