Handover By The Slice

A Hand Roll Sushi Counter With an Attached Highball Bar Lands in the Heart of Old Town - Eater DC

"Handover, a bamboo-lined sushi restaurant specializing in temaki (hand rolls), moves into the old spot for fish and chips. The Handover refers to how servers will deliver temaki across a minimalist, 13-seat bar. Chef Melvin Urrutia, also of the People's Drug, has rolls packed with avocado miso, spicy tuna, hamachi, or shrimp tempura fillings. Guests fill out orders with pencils and could be in and out in as little as 30 minutes. Hot or cold sake comes in porcelain cups. There are also familiar Japanese beers like Kirin, ginger lemonade, iced green tea, and bottles of Japanese Ramune sodas. Chef specials will include seasonal items like caviar-topped California sea urchin or fish sourced from Hawaii and Japan." - Tierney Plumb
