"Soseki is Sushi Christmas, an omakase experience where every course sparks the same amount of happiness as a snow day. All the ingredients are excellent, whether it’s seared fatty salmon, delicate toro pieces, or generous mounds of fish roe. Menus are almost never repeated and courses get built with extreme precision—you might get chawanmushi with Cape Canaveral shrimp one day, and saba with battered kombu another—so it’s likely even the most seasoned sushi pros will eat something new. And each dish is explained by the chefs with the same passion and enthusiasm that Mariah Carey has for December. Settle in and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere, even though you’ll want to reserve one of the 10 seats well in advance." - cheryl rodewig, gabe bergado, ryan pfeffer, macy johnson
