"As soon as you sit down at Tanoshi, you’ll be asked if you need glassware. This place is BYOB, and that’s a big part of why we like it. The barebones space here is tight, but as you get into your omakase ($120-125), you’ll quickly forget about your surroundings. You’ll get a small starter and 10 pieces of flawless nigiri, tuna maki, and a spicy salmon handroll. We encourage you to order at least one of the add-ons, which are displayed via large placards on the wall. You might see shad or crab brain, but if the slightly torched and fatty black throat is available, that should be the first extra piece you try." - hannah albertine, hillary reinsberg, neha talreja, kenny yang
