A contemporary sushi counter tucked behind a South Congress parking lot, where a quiet room and a sake list that runs deep set the tone before the first piece arrives. The brown butter scallop nigiri is the one that gets mentioned in every review (caramelized and tender in a way that's hard to benchmark against the rest of Austin) and the yellowfin tartare and wagyu roll fill out a meal that earns its price.
Spicy tuna, cucumber, topped with avocado and jalapeño, a South Congress go-to.
Wagyu beef in sushi form — rich and satisfying with a sweetness that holds through every piece.
Classic yellowtail and scallion rolled tight — clean, fresh, and a South Congress staple.
Single scallop over rice with brown butter — caramelized, tender, the one everyone comes back for.
