"Sushi Murase in Roppongi is a very serious temple of fish. It’s a bit pricier (around $200 per person for the omakase), but this really feels like fish performance art in the best way—the chef methodically slices fish and twirls chopsticks before using them to top the nigiri. It’s 28 courses with some really unique bites: squid stuffed with squid eggs that’s been poached in soy sauce, raw shrimp that’s topped with uni, shrimp head bits, blue shrimp eggs, and wasabi, and the best tuna you’ll ever have. It’s a lot of food and a lot of flair, but worth every penny." - Carlo Mantuano
