The smoked dome arrives at the table before anyone lifts it, which tells you something about the ambition here. This is an upscale Japanese restaurant and sushi bar in Montrose from chef Manabu Horiuchi, and the menu moves between precise nigiri and dishes that are harder to categorize, in the best possible sense. Texas Monthly named it the top new restaurant in the state, and the James Beard Foundation named Horiuchi an Outstanding Chef semifinalist in 2026.
