| A refined contemporary setting and fresh sushi make this Japanese restaurant a Seattle favorite. Chef Tatsu Nishino, who trained in Los Angeles with sushi master Nobu Matsuhisa, creates intriguing fusings of East and West. At the sushi bar, toro tartare is tipped in gold leaf and served with caviar in a cut-glass bowl. The omakase might open with a single mussel garnished with finely chopped albacore tuna and surf clam, while squid may be sautéed with asparagus and morels in saké butter. The avocado-wrapped arboretum roll encircles hamachi, tobiko, and a fiery slice of jalapeño pepper. For anyone not smitten by sushi, there's stir-fried lemon grass-roasted chicken with mint and papaya salad, or amaebi---small shrimp plucked live from the display tank and presented seconds later on a bed of rice spiked with tangy vinegar. Wine and saké are available. |
