East Austin, Austin · restaurant
Michelin-rated sushi stripped down to 26 seats, a walk-in-only policy, and fish flown in weekly from Tokyo's Toyosu Market. Orders are placed on a retro check-box sheet and limited to nigiri, sashimi, and hand rolls. No cooked dishes, no distractions. The toro is an easy win, but the omakase's closing toro-uni-caviar-truffle hand roll is the bite people end up talking about afterward.
Matcha, makrut lime, white chocolate, shortbread, sesame—the pastry finisher
3 apps, 3 sashimi, 5 nigiri, toro-uni-caviar-black truffle handroll, 3 desserts
