Frequently Asked
Everything you might want to know before you visit.
Why dry-aged fish?
The dry-aging process transforms our fish, yielding unparalleled flavor and texture. We safely remove excess moisture through evaporation by letting our fish rest in a carefully controlled environment. This process removes unpleasant odors, breaks down tough proteins, and allows the fats to naturally concentrate — resulting in a cleaner, more pronounced taste with a rich, buttery texture in every bite.
What is omakase?
“Omakase” directly translates to “I'll leave it up to you” — in other words, trust the chef. It's a dining experience where our chefs prepare individual sushi courses in front of you and present them to be enjoyed right away. We offer three experiences:
- 15-Course Omakase Bar$150 / pp
- Tableside Omakase — 13 pieces + dessert, all standard reservations$125 / pp
- 10-Piece Lunch Omakasefrom $60 / pp
