Gift Tips

  • Use a gift card to try the sushi bar experience—sitting at the bar lets you watch the chefs and often leads to small complimentary bites or chef recommendations.
  • Order the Bluefin Roll or lobster-and-bluefin roll to taste the restaurant’s signature creative rolls that blend traditional sushi with international flavors.
  • If you want variety, pick the Bento for a single meal that includes sashimi, sushi, tempura and other small plates.
  • Save room for mochi ice cream as a light, familiar dessert to finish the meal on a sweet note.
  • Consider ordering toro nigiri or yellowtail belly for rich, buttery pieces that highlight the restaurant’s high-quality fish.
