Sushisai Wakichi
Maruyama, Japan
Sushisai Wakichi keeps the focus on an eight-seat counter, warm lighting and the changing quality of seasonal seafood. Mitsuaki Tamura’s omakase moves from small dishes into nigiri, with the pace adjusted to the guests rather than rushed through a fixed performance. The Maruyama location adds to the quieter mood. Choose it for a close view of a skilled sushi chef at work, and allow the meal to be the main event of the evening.
