  1. A neighborhood Japanese restaurant in Seal Beach where the chefs know the regulars by name and the regulars never need a menu. The sashimi lineup alone draws them back, moving from kampachi and clam through several varieties of oyster before landing on nigiri finished with quiet precision. Nothing here is trying to be trendy, and the room seems glad about that. The Michelin Guide has it listed among its selected restaurants.

    One honor, in evidence:

    The record strongest first

    One number, weighted & current 69
