SCENE:
2009 READER'S CHOICE AWARD: Best Japanese
The dimly lit bar seduces scene-seekers with its potent cocktails and a standout list of regional sakes. Meanwhile, sushi-savvy diners weave through the Zen-like space to a tranquil dining room for breathtaking views of the Bay Bridge or a prime spot at the 24-seat sushi bar.
EATS:
Playful maki and glistening sashimi are only the beginning of the menu. The robata grill, heated by imported Japanese charcoal, turns out refreshing entrées that bring together Asian flavor, French technique and pristine California products. The Negima-style Sonoma Muscovy duck with a dashi “duck-jus” reduction and the sake-and-miso-marinated black cod with a saikyo-miso-dashi cream are unforgettable.
