This spacious sushi den caters to the next generation—with dark stone walls, colorful cocktails, and a DJ spinning soft trance music next to the master chefs who carve up fresh fish. Although the toro and yellowtail sashimi are sublime, composed dishes like the fire garlic sprouts with shrimp will satisfy non-raw fans. Don’t forget to pair your spicy tuna hand roll with a sake tasting flight—an intoxicating way to sample exotic rice wines. This is a sexy spot for a date, yet it’s upbeat enough to make it a party destination with your pals.
