Kusakabe

Financial District·$$$

Petite Omakase

$158.00

13-course sushi menu with kaiseki-inspired plating and seasonal ingredients.

Tip: Ask Kusakabe about the sourcing of each ingredient. His knowledge of Japanese suppliers is encyclopedic.

Wako

Richmond District·$$$

Sushi Tasting Menu

$120.00

14-course lighter omakase option with selected nigiri and appetizers.

Tip: Wako doesn't serve lunch, but the tasting menu is lighter than the full course — good for an earlier seating (5:30 pm opening).

SoMa·$$$

18-Course Omakase

$240.00

Chef-selected nigiri, seasonal sashimi, tamago, soup, and A5 wagyu with gold leaf.

Tip: The 5:00 pm seating is quieter and more intimate. The 7:45 pm slot tends to be busier and more social.

Financial District·$$$$

17-Course Edomae Omakase

$300.00

Seasonal nigiri, aged/cured fish, white sturgeon caviar supplement, tuna anatomy lesson with model fish.

Prix Fixe Omakase

$210.00

18-course kaiseki-sushi menu, the restaurant's full expression of the chef's vision.

Tip: The 18-course takes about 2 hours. The pacing is deliberate — you'll finish with a sense of calm completion rather than fullness.

Wako

Richmond District·$$$

22-Course Omakase

$165.00

Full sushi counter experience with nigiri, appetizers, miso soup, and creative small plates.

Tip: Counter seating is essential — you'll watch the chefs work and interact throughout. Sit here, not the tables.
