"Just when you thought Seattle’s sushi scene had gotten stale, this sister restaurant to Shiro's brings a fun and fresh experience. Unlike other omakase spots that can be cramped and stuffy, the friendly 14-seat Shomon counter is spacious enough to feel like you’re at your own private table. There’s rarely a miss among the eight courses that are a mix of sushi and other Japanese small plates—we're talking buttery Hokkaido scallop nigiri, futomaki topped with rich soy-cured egg yolk, and a deep-fried Dungeness crab nugget that oozes with rich béchamel." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
