The name means "twelve" in Japanese, which is exactly how many seats this NoPa omakase counter holds, with each chef responsible for just four guests at a time. The pacing is unhurried, the nigiri precise and uncluttered, and the room skews toward young professionals with occasion money and good taste in fish. The meal closes with miso soup that makes every other miso soup feel like a rough draft.

Miso soup
“Notably, the slightly sweet miso soup served at the finish line, intense with kelp flavor, is likely the best cup of soup you’ll ever have.”
