"After a long period of closure, Sugidama reopened just a block from its original location in the fall of 2023, serving an array of izakaya classics, maki rolls, and donburi; as well as its famous housemade soba that put its name on the map. Be sure to stop by for the cold soba with uni; the orange-colored, buttery sea urchin complements the hearty and nutty buckwheat noodles in a lightly sweetened dipping sauce." - Celina Colby, Valerie Li Stack
