Otoko
It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust to the soothing dimness after stepping through the heavy door. But once they do, you’ve been transported to another world. Head chef Yoshi Okai orchestrates one of the most theatrical meals in town behind the intimate 12-seat counter. On that stage, he conducts a symphony of sushi omakase with refined kaiseki to showcase the flavors of the seasons. Bravo, maestro, bravo.
