The live-edge elm counter is the first thing you notice, a single dramatic slab anchored by oyster leather chairs and a slatted wood ceiling that reads Japanese-chic without trying too hard. This is an omakase sushi counter in SoMa, and the nightly progression moves through sashimi, soup, and nigiri using enough techniques to keep each course distinct. Kelp tea opens things; Santa Barbara sea urchin over Hokkaido scallop shows where the kitchen's ambitions land.
