From the moment you enter, you know this place is a little different. First, as befits the name, they take their sake seriously, serving premium brands cold (as their makers intended). Second, they have a long sushi bar with some of the most beautiful fish we've seen in Austin. Excellent selection, including terrific uni (sea urchin roe, $3.95) and tobiko (flying fish roe, $1.95). Unlike most other sushi bars, they sell one piece at a time instead of two.
