The best part of the fish is the part you've probably never ordered.

Hamachi k**a is the yellowtail collar. There's more fat in this cut than anywhere else on the fish, and it's the one chefs quietly keep for themselves. On now as a seasonal special.

We'll seat you at the bar.

Same fish, two cuts, completely different plate.

Sake is the standard salmon cut. Sake toro is the belly, and it is noticeably richer. Ask for both, eat them side by side, and your chef will tell you which order to go in.

Reserve your seat.

Hokkaido scallop. Nothing added, nothing hidden.

Watch Bass take it from whole to plated. Smoothest thing you’ll see all week. 🍣

When we asked the team who makes them laugh the most, they all said the same name. 🎤

Meet Rusty. Night owl, fisherman, pizza guy, and the one ordering uni and a lychee martini when it’s his turn to sit down.

Everything around the counter is built around flow.
That's the Kata Nori difference.

Citrus, chili and yellowtail, in that order.

Yellowtail with orange, serrano and ponzu. It arrives from the kitchen while the chefs keep working in front of you, and it is the plate we would open a meal with: bright enough to wake everything up before the richer things start landing.

Reserve your seat.

A5 wagyu, in a hand roll, handed to you across the counter.
Japanese A5, seared, rolled, and passed over immediately.

About as direct as wagyu gets: off the heat, into the nori, into your hands.
Reserve your seat. 🔥

We asked James what keeps him here. He answered before the question was finished.

The team. The room. The people he works next to every night.

Then the order: spicy tuna he could eat every day, hirame when he wants it clean, and a smashburger the moment he’s off the clock. 🎤

Ask a chef their favorite cut and they almost never say the most expensive one.

Bass goes to chu toro. The middle cut of the bluefin, sitting between the lean akami and the rich otoro. Enough fat to coat your mouth, enough structure to still taste like fish.

Cut to order, three feet in front of you. Reserve your seat.
