Fire house in 1931 and an amazing Japanese Restaurant Today. It’s worth a try
From 1931 to 1980s, this was the headquarter of the Vigilant Hose Company and fire fighters protecting the community. After almost 30 years and more this is offering mouth watering japanese food and Sushi. If you are a japanese food lover and like Sushi then this is going to be place worth dining. The restaurant has small plate dining meant to be shared, in a lively and charming atmosphere.
