This lovely little jewel sits on a corner of Clinton Street, within the splendid CH Distillery. Prima facie, it looks much like a sports bar, but inside, the aura is that of a beloved pub—dark, sultry, and alive with sports fans. In keeping with its locale, gleaming stills are front and center, while the kitchen is packed with dedicated sushi chefs.
Omakase is the way to go, but don't sleep on the à la carte as it features much of the same flavor and quality. A meal here is basically one delicious bite after another—think Massachusetts oysters with yukari ponzu; silky Japanese snapper; and Threeline grunt with rice and seaweed. The fish on offer changes seasonally, but in our experience, shima-aji garnished with mitsuba left a lasting impression.
