I first went to Koharu with my uncle 9 years ago right before I went to Japan for the firt time, and I've remembered it ever since, as it was the most authentic I'd had at that point. More recently after a couple unsatisfying attempts to find a good Japanese restaurant in Seattle I went back and was still impressed by the quality of the dinner I had there. For Seattle residents it's unfortunate that you have to go all the way down to Federal Way with it's million shopping chains, but worth checking out if you're passing through the area.
