Sit up at the bar where you can watch the brigade at work, or at one of the modest tables, and choose from either a relatively simple Japanese menu, with expertly tuned nigiri made with Peru’s first quality fish, or the full 15-course Nikkei version.
Travel + Leisure "Sit at the fish counter for a close-up of the culinary action, and choose the 15-step tasting menu. Delights include Nitsuke beef short rib cooked for 50 hours and guinea-pig nigiri." Full review
