Kuruma Zushi Description:
Everyone is greeted with a rousing shout upon entering this strangely situated restaurant, located in an office building on the second floor. With a sushi bar and two private tatami rooms, Kuruma Zushi serves some of the finest sushi and sashimi in the city. To get a truly authentic and memorable experience, sit at the sushi bar and order omakase, which means let the chef decide. (A word of caution, let him know how much you want to spend beforehand or you might wind up having to take a second mortgage to pay the bill.) Once the meal begins a dazzling array of sushi and sashimi---so fresh you'll swear it's still moving---will appear in front of you in a ritualized order, each with its own dipping sauce. There is an excellent saké selection, served in delicate glasses that are flecked with gold leaf and other colorful specks.
