A Pop-Up Omakase at Mercy Me Heads West to France and Italy | Eater DC

"During a cherry-blossom-themed pop-up, a short-term omakase curated by Omakase Nomad (fresh from a research trip to Japan and known for private omakase experiences) will run six days spaced from April to May, starting April 21, at the shoji-screen, bamboo-paneled sushi bar. The Japanese-style omakase integrates Italian and French flavors—examples listed include monkfish liver with French onion sauce and sweet shrimp draped in olive and tomato—and the bites are paired with a Japanese-influenced cocktail menu and fine Japanese whiskies. Seating is strictly limited: only 10 seats at the sushi counter with two seatings nightly at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.; the exclusive tasting is $150 per person, and reservations for the first dinner are available on OpenTable starting today." - Emily Venezky
