Quiet, simply decorated space with small patio open in summer
Reservations not necessary except for weekend dinner
This intimate café from chef-owner Taka Moriuchi, a native of Hiroshima, specializes in sushi, but offers a wide range of hot and cold appetizers. These make standout tapas and demonstrate a level of creativity that respects tradition even as it reaches out to other cuisines. Thus, a tender morsel of slow-cooked beef short rib is presented with a seafood fork. Moriuchi calls his tuna tataki "Italian style," serving it with tiny pieces of fresh minced pepper and olive oil. Sweet and tender calamari comes lightly dusted with seasonings only---no flour---and is served with a zippy wasabi mayonnaise. Sushi nigiri is equally inventive, with a version that incorporates lobster salad and sprouts girdled with seaweed. There is also "vegetarian sushi," such as a steamed veggie gyoza (dumpling) and agedashi tofu with scallion-ginger sauce. Good, cold sakés are the drink of choice. The menu changes every month, with surprising new dishes in every turn. Bring a pal and do the omakase tasting dinner.
