"Tare in North Austin follows the same format as the 375 other $100+ omakase sushi spots in town—a speakeasy-style dining room in an old office building, and 15-ish courses of nigiri and small plates. But instead of feeling like just another expensive fish in the sea, it brings some new and exciting flavor combinations to the table, like madai nigiri with salsa verde or negi toro on a bed of crispy chicharrones. The nigiri here starts with well-seasoned rice and high-quality fish, then just leans into the Rio Grande Valley flavors that the chef grew up with and doesn’t worry too much about following the “rules” of traditional sushi.
