Sushi Kaji

Sushi Kaji, founded by Mitsuhiro Kaji in 2000, was the first restaurant in the city to put elevated sushi and omakase in the spotlight over 20 years ago. A giant koi fish decorates the sushi counter wall where chef Kaji prepares his exquisite bites for no more than 30 diners at a time.

Detail is everything, Chef Kaji has spent the better part of his life perfecting his approach to sushi, so it's no surprise he's so attentive. Kaji has fish flown in from Tokyo Bay within 24 hours, refusing to offer anything that isn't as fresh as possible to his clients. This is just one method for achieving excellence, which takes years of practice beginning at the age of 13. Scallop, sea bream, shrimp, fluke, and sea eel are just a few of the fishy options on the seasonal menu.
