14-course omakase with fresh fish, Japanese cocktails
"With its attentive service, high-quality fish, and intimate space, Kase is practically made for an anniversary or celebrating a jump in pay grade. It's from the team behind Noko and is right next to their original Porter Road location offering 14 courses of stunning slices of fish and beef for $75 per person. The waiting room is a tiny, four-seat bar (officially the smallest in Tennessee) serving some stellar Japanese whiskey and ube cocktails. You’ll hang out there while they get the actual omakase room ready—then it’s time for an onslaught of torched salmon, custardy uni, toro hand rolls, and A5 wagyu with foie gras. Service is what we’ve come to expect from the Noko crew: friendly, knowledgeable, and always professional. Just know that you have to reserve your spot almost six weeks in advance. Reservations for this omakase's prized 14 seats are released six weeks ahead of time at midnight. Walk-ins aren’t accepted, so be sure to set an alarm." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak

"The Noko crew has ventured into the world of omakase with a small dining room that neighbors their Porter Road location in East Nashville. They’re offering 14 courses of fresh slices of fish for $75, along with cocktails in what’s officially the smallest bar in Tennessee. We’ve checked it out and added the restaurant to our Hit List. Reservations for this omakase's prized 14 seats are released six weeks ahead of time at midnight. Walk-ins aren’t accepted, so be sure to set an alarm." - jackie gutierrez jones 2
"Sophomore projects are rife with pressure, but with Kase, the Noko team breezes through the follow-up with finesse. This omakase restaurant hits that sweet spot between formal and informal, while being almost suspiciously cheap for the quality you’re getting. While Kase is definitely for special occasions, the $75 price point makes it so accessible you’ll want to go all the time—if only getting a reservation wasn’t so difficult. Some omakase spots around town can wipe out a good chunk of your paycheck (see: Sushi Bar). While others are more focused on just being a really good reliable spot for a la carte nigiri (O-Ku). Kase is the first operation of its kind in the city, and that’s exactly why it’s the omakase spot that Nashville’s been waiting for. Reservations for this omakase's prized 14 seats are released six weeks ahead of time at midnight. Walk-ins aren’t accepted, so be sure to set an alarm." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, carlo mantuano, ann walczak
"Highlighted as an omakase standout among the city’s hottest new restaurants, appearing on the Eater Heatmap of current buzzy openings." - Missy Frederick
