"At this low-key kaiseke restaurant within eyesight of the Space Needle, you can fully appreciate ingredients for what they are without too many bells and whistles. Chances are a bite of something like dry-aged bluefin tuna nigiri or any course involving their comforting dashi will make a lasting impression from their ever-changing menu. Dinner is pricier than it used to be here, but it's hard to find a better meal after a day of sightseeing. Reservations are released 60 days in advance for up to six guests. There is one 6pm seating on Thursdays, two per night on Fridays and Saturdays, and two on Sunday (1pm and 5pm)." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
