"Located at the Montecito Inn, Sushi by Scratch is one of 13 nationwide locations. The omakase begins in the hotel lobby with a palate cleanser and ends at the chef’s counter, where no more than 10 guests are seated for an intimate experience. The restaurant sources some of the freshest seafood, both locally and abroad. The 16-course omakase features standouts like thinly-sliced shima aji, topped with fermented Fresno kosho seasoning and sprinkled with Bali salt, and hotate (scallops) drizzled with ponzu, soy sauce, poblano kosho, and lemon juice." - Meaghan Clark Tiernan
