The Best Japanese Restaurants In Seattle - Seattle - The Infatuation

"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, and the plates are still pretty to look at. The menu changes with the seasons, but chances are a bite of something like dry-aged bluefin tuna nigiri or any course involving their comforting dashi will make a lasting impression. And with tables relatively easy to come by, this is a good place to plan a fancy night out without sweating reservations months in advance. 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
