Craft Omakase

Sushi restaurant · Triangle State

@infatuation

"This sleek Rosedale spot should be the poster child for omakases that want to break a little from tradition. Fish is the star of the show here—with most pieces undergoing some level of curing, dry-aging, or probably yoga to bring out different textures and flavors—and the garnishes are accents instead of the maximalist limelight hoggers you might find somewhere like Sushi Bar. The small plates served between every few bites of nigiri are where things veer a little from the classic omakase format, adding in global flavors without turning the whole meal into some forced fusion that relies on novelty. There are no upsells at the end, and no extra bites—you won’t need them, anyway. The whole experience feels less like a meal and more like a delicious 22-point justification for why someone might pay $175 for sushi. Cost: $175 per person, no add-ons available. Sake and wine pairings available. " - nicolai mccrary
