Where to Eat and Drink on Portland’s Alberta Street
"Chef Kate Koo still stands behind the sushi counter at this sake bar and restaurant, slicing Hokkaido scallops or lightly searing pieces of bigeye tuna, and the sushi is just as mind-boggling as it was in the Great Before. Offerings often shift with what’s in season, but past visits have involved yuzu scallop rolls creamy with the most delicate oceanic note, dry-aged king salmon nigiri balancing its butteriness with the mystifying note of whitewater, and yellowtail sashimi with a bracing citrusy element that plays off the shiso it lies against. The best experience of the restaurant, however, is in its omakase, which shows off beautiful cuts of seasonal fish with fun yuzu koshos." - Rebecca Roland, Brooke Jackson-Glidden, Nathan Williams
