"The Japanese restaurant in Oceanside will offer a ten-course tasting menu with a separate vegan option for New Year’s Eve. The kitchen helmed by chef William Eick will serve plates like marinated duck breast and meatball, chicken and rice bowl, and abalone “chowder,” a fusion of miso clam soup and New England clam chowder. The first seating begins at 4 p.m. The signature tasting menu is priced at $185 per person, and the vegan option is $140 per person." - Helen I. Hwang
