"A part of the Bravery Chef Hall food stalls, the sushi counter Kokoro comes from the team behind Handies. A minimalist dream, it’s decorated only with a neon sign or two, and of course the rubber duckies that the team loves so much. Swing by for a maguro crudo or a few pieces of nigiri for lunch, or stop by later in the day and grab a slice of wagyu toast and some sake from the bar across the way." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas

Swing by for a maguro crudo or a few pieces of nigiri in a $24 box set for lunch, or stop in later in the day and grab a slice of wagyu toast and sake from the bar across the way." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi

"This sushi hotspot and yakitori grill is tucked away in the Bravery Chef Hall, but don’t be fooled by its location. Kokoro promises a top-notch lineup of more than a dozen courses with impeccable slices of fish, such as the bluefin chutoro, its show-stopping foie gras nigiri, and lauded specialties such as the chicken fat rice and wagyu toast." - Megha McSwain
