1. Asheville's instinct for the weird-but-right is on full display here, where Japanese small plates meet Southern smoke in a way that has no business working as well as it does. It's a lively neighborhood spot downtown with a big central bar, outdoor seating, and a fireplace for cooler nights. Order a round of grilled skewers, something smoked, and a cocktail that arrives with its own little smoke show. The crowd is exactly who you'd expect in Asheville: flannel-and-tattoos locals next to curious tourists, all sharing plates.
