This sushi spot gives off serious wood cabin vibes with mahogany tables and floors, and a bear skin couch—so it’s a perfect date spot, especially if you’re looking to assess what aesthetic your date is into as you begin planning a life together. Once you've had your turn waiting on that bear skin couch for a table, standard nigiri, sashimi, and maki that hit in the right way will arrive. They also do more inventive takes on sashimi that are worth your time under the “new style” section of the menu—think albacore tataki coated with crispy onions or a torched walu with yuzu osho. The best things here are the unagi dishes, especially the dragon roll, which will literally turn heads thanks to massive pieces of torched unagi, shrimp tempura, and avocado.
