NAKAZAWA is known for its omakase sushi, where all 20 courses are decided by the chef rather than you as the diner. If you opt for a la carte, the zuke king salmon oshizushi might be the best piece of nigiri you’ll ever have. TIP: Ask for the special, which is a smaller version of the omakase menu for $100USD.
