"The Germantown location of this luxurious Charleston-based chain makes believers out of those who don’t think Nashville has a strong grip on Japanese cuisine. Expect A-5 wagyu beef prepared tableside; pristine nigiri and sashimi; head-turning rolls like the NashVegas with crab, goat cheese mousse, and spicy tuna; and fun cocktails, fancy Jell-O shots, and a good selection of sake in a moody setting splashed with lavender banquettes and manzanita branches. You can also put your culinary fate in the hands of a pro with an omakase tasting of the chef’s choicest daily offerings." - Kellie Walton
