| This low-profile establishment shares the block with two formidable neighbors, Yujean Kang's and Café Bizou, but holds its own with some solid Japanese cuisine. The narrow, smart-looking space is filled with tables draped in white linen; on the table, there are elegant little pitchers of soy sauce while chopsticks rest on polished black stones. The front of the restaurant houses a wraparound shabu-shabu bar, while the four-seat sushi bar is tucked away in the rear. Appetizers worth considering include the steamed clams, spicy oysters tempura and pristine sashimi. Additional choices include a soft-shell crab salad and steamed ankimo (monkfish liver)---the foie gras of the sea---served with ponzu sauce. Intriguing shabu-shabu dinners incorporate Eastern prime rib. Seafood nabe is an Asian bouillabaisse with oysters, salmon, squid, mussels, clams, noodles and vegetables in a miso broth. |
