The Best Sushi Near Blossom, by the Record

Twelve seats at a sushi bar, where the chef works right in front of you, is the whole point of Nintai. It's an omakase restaurant from Marcos Granda, the sommelier turned Japan obsessive, earning a Michelin star for a single menu that moves through hot and cold courses with sushi rice as the through line. The sake list runs deep, and the desserts will quietly surprise anyone who thinks Japanese restaurants phone that part in.

1. Michelin Guide 1 Star

A sushi restaurant tucked into an annex of the Puente Romano hotel, run by an Argentine sushiman whose specialty is aged and cured fish. The room splits into two: The Lounge has low tables and sharing plates, while the Omakase Bar is quieter and reserved for the chef's tasting menu, plated in front of you. The sommelier focuses on sake, which is either very niche or exactly what you needed to know.
