"Opening at 231 W. Nine Mile on Wednesday, Aug. 10, this new spot will serve Edomae-style sushi, shareable small plates, and robata “fireside cooking.” Chef Chris Vasquez, a metro Detroit native who comes from Chicago’s critically-acclaimed Momotaro and has worked locally at Maru and Nippon, is helming the kitchen and says, “This is a new kind of sushi that Detroit hasn’t seen,” explaining they will take Edomae techniques and fuse contemporary flavors and techniques while staying authentic. The 4,000-square-foot main dining room, designed by Birmingham architects Ron & Roman, features an open, marble-topped sushi bar set beneath a six-panel mural installation by Detroit artist Glenn Barr, retained from the original Antihero design." - Serena Maria Daniels
