This cavernous, sleek space features 40-foot vaulted ceilings and exposed-brick walls. A long, tsunami-shaped sushi bar flows alongside the softly lit dining area with a sake bar in the back. Knowledgeable servers cater to an in-crowd of animated groups and whispering couples.

Dip natsu-maki--fresh spring rolls--in spicy peanut sauce and munch on boiled, lightly salted edamame. The sashimi dinner is artistically presented with shades of fresh tuna, salmon, grouper, snapper and yellowtail. Imaginative rolls range from the Hawaiian roll with coconut, asparagus and macadamia nuts to the Spontaneous Combustion roll wrapped in Florida grouper and baked with spicy mayonnaise. Meat eaters enjoy Tokyo beef short ribs made by the owner's mother and marinated in ginger soy. The richness of tempura cheesecake, rolled in pound cake then gently fried caps off a light sushi meal

A tip…definitely ask about the desserts: They aren't listed on the menu and include sorbet served in a fruit shell.
