Chef-driven omakase with exceptional sake pairings and lively vibe
"A Capitol Hill omakase (about 20 courses) notable for tiny, unforgettable dishes whose textures stand out—tentacles that are crunchy contrasted with heads that are creamy and almost eggy thanks to squid liver. The meal features delicacies like firefly squid, sea snails, baby eels, and monkfish liver presented without pretension but with flair, and the specific items rotate seasonally." - Harry Cheadle
"Omakase counters can be a bit stuffy, but Ltd Edition keeps things loose. Chef Keiji Tsukasaki, a former DJ, can simultaneously sip a beer, chat up his guests, and guide them through a too-many-to-count-course meal, plus a carefully curated sake pairing. Everything on the seasonal menu is good, but one standout recently was the monkfish liver, served near the end of the meal — smooth, deep, and rich, it’s a surprising but totally welcome way to do dessert. –Harry Cheadle" - Sophie Grossman
"This tiny omakase place on Capitol Hill first achieved fame for being so good it made the Seattle Times restaurant critic tear up. But you’re more likely to be laughing than crying at Keiji Tsukasaki’s counter. The former DJ cheerfully ditches the air of mystique some highly skilled sushi chefs seem to cultivate. He’ll drink a beer while he’s working, tell you which sake to drink with which course (and refill your glass with a heavy hand), all while abso-fucking-lutely wowing you with his food. The menu changes with the seasons but past highlights include sea snails served in their shells, toro topped with mushrooms for added depth of flavor, and a monkfish liver so rich and velvety it’s literally a dessert course. Know before you go: There are tables here, but you really should try to sit at the counter to get the chef Keiji experience." - Harry Cheadle
"Ltd Edition is another exclusive around-$150 sushi omakase in a city where those are not too hard to come by, but this one's worth it. Just wait till the uni cart comes out—there are few moments more exciting than receiving a buttery sea urchin hand roll as if it were a sidewalk snow cone. Whether you sit at the counter or high-top table, you’ll receive a history lesson on every piece of fish that comes out, and know exactly how to eat it—one bite or two? Chopsticks or hands? The Dungeness nigiri in particular is a standout way to experience the Miss Universe of the PNW crustacean world, with succulent crab meat and a gelatin topping made from its own juices. Be sure to enjoy it with someone who will equally appreciate crab-flavored Jell-O. Ltd releases bookings at 11am on the 15th of every month for the following month, and we wish you the best of luck when the entire Seattle population clicks around the reservation platform at the same time. If you don't get in, add yourself to the waitlist and hope for cancellations." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Ltd Edition is another exclusive sushi omakase in a city where those are not too hard to come by, but this is one you should be prioritizing. Whatever you need to do to book this 16-seat Capitol Hill spot, be prepared to do it. If it takes setting four alarms, buying your neighbor's kid a drum set, and constructing a booby trap to wake you up the morning that reservations are released, so be it. The $170 meal includes special bites like black cod and Dungeness nigiri with succulent crab meat and a gelatin topping made from its own juices. But just wait till the uni cart comes out—there are few moments more exciting than receiving a buttery sea urchin hand roll as if it were a sidewalk snow cone. And don’t skip the sake pairing that is generously refilled after every sip you take. Ltd releases bookings at 11am on the 15th of every month for the following month, and we wish you the best of luck when the entire Seattle population clicks around the reservation platform at the same time. If you don't get in, add yourself to the waitlist and hope for cancellations." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
