A modern Japanese restaurant with subtle Italian and Latin touches, this sleek establishment allows Bel-Air residents to enjoy top-drawer sushi without going down or over the hill. The small, modern space is a stylish study of glass, tile, concrete and bamboo, accented with dramatic orange box lanterns. Most of the action takes place at the sushi bar, which is carved from a massive walnut slab. Dishes include halibut carpaccio topped with arugula and sun-dried tomatoes, albacore doused in spicy garlic oil and crowned with uni or shaved black truffles, and deep-fried almond-crusted scallops. A pairing of fried oysters and oyster ceviche impresses us, and Kobe beef sashimi is a worthy prelude to an array of sushi so fresh that soy sauce is superfluous. We recommend finishing up with an artistically presented panna cotta or green tea tiramisu.
