心得Philosophy

Simplicity. Precision.
Respect for the fish.

Shun · 旬

The fish on the bar tonight is the fish that is at its peak this week — sourced from Toyosu and the Pacific Northwest, never frozen, never carried over.

Edomae · 江戸前

Tokyo’s pre-refrigeration sushi traditions: salt cures, vinegar marinades, slow-simmered tsume, aged cuts. The vocabulary is centuries old; the result tastes new.

Hashi to counter · 箸とカウンター

Twelve seats so chef can see, season, and serve every piece directly. No sushi sits longer than the time it takes you to lift it.

The sake list

Forty-plus labels, poured at the bar.

A rotating list curated by our sake sommelier, Kenji. Tonight’s pours, by the glass —

Dassai 23 · junmai daiginjo$24

Yamaguchi · 23% rice polish · pear, white flower, long finish · pairs with hirame

Hakkaisan · tokubetsu junmai$16

Niigata · clean, mineral, crisp · pairs with the snapper opener and aji

Kubota Manjyu · junmai daiginjo$22

Niigata · soft, melon, balanced · the hand of the kohada and chū-toro

Tedorigawa Yamahai · yamahai junmai$18

Ishikawa · earthy, savoury, umami-rich · pairs with otoro and uni

From the counter

What guests have written.

The kohada alone was worth the seat. Mori-san didn’t say a word for fifteen minutes — and we didn’t either. The room hums when the work is this exact.

I’ve eaten omakase in Tokyo, NYC and SF. Kaze is in that conversation. The 36-hour aged hirame and the Dassai pairing knocked me sideways.

Twelve seats, two hours, no menu. I left feeling I’d been let in on a secret. Reserve four weeks out and ask for the corner if you can.
