"Kaoru Azeuchi was tapped as a finalist for a James Beard Award in 2023 for his intricate dishes and thoughtfully coursed menus at Kaiseki Yuzu. Inside the open kitchen and at the sushi bar, Azeuchi specializes in omakase dinners that highlight technique and ingredients with ornate presentations and artful slices of sashimi. Seasonal fish is handpicked for every service. Azeuchi wraps seared king mackerel in lettuce and layers it with caviar and uni sauce. He grills A5 wagyu steak rib-eye and plates it with winter truffles, foie gras, and vegetables. Best for: Sushi disciples who love a thoughtfully curated menu as much as they do a hidden gem." - Janna Karel
