"A day celebrating anything iconic in Seattle should involve sushi. Spots at this friendly kappo counter in Belltown are pretty easy to come by at the moment. Even better—there’s rarely a miss among the eight courses that are a mix of sushi and other small plates. We're talking buttery Hokkaido scallop nigiri, futomaki topped with rich soy-cured egg yolk, and a deep-fried Dungeness crab nugget that oozes with rich béchamel. Compared to the meal here, seeing people gawk at a tower will feel like an afterthought." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
