Ginza-trained chef offers broad-ranging Japanese tasting menu in lovely, traditional surrounds.
"Impressing a date or out-of-town guests is easy at Nasmine, an intimate Old Town spot that sticks to what it does best: a seven-course tasting menu. The menu changes daily, so if it’s in your budget to keep coming back, you likely won’t try the same thing twice. A few past favorites include juicy wagyu short rib, a summery octopus and taro salad, and a hearty duck and matsutake mushroom udon soup. The small space lends itself to intimate conversation, so consider this your go-to for a special occasion or anniversary." - madeline weinfield
