Kissaki

If you’re looking for a place to celebrate sushi, look no further than the new omakase hot spot Kissaki which is launching specials all month long. The restaurant will be introducing new specialty rolls weekly, with the baked crab roll rolling out during the first week of June—absolutely loaded with crab and wrapped in soy paper with umami mayo and kosho butter; the salmon and ikura roll with shiso and miso coming week 2; and the hamachi and yellow pepper roll with chives during week 3.

Celebrated as a Cultural Conduit of Japanese Gastronomy, Ogawa offers an unparalleled deep dive into Japanese cuisine. It’s by no means a cheap spot, but what better occasion to dine than during Sushi Month?  Plus, the culinary journey it provides is worth every penny—hands down. Each night, expect an ever-changing menu of seasonal seafood flown in from Japan that morning. Prepare to feast on some of the rarest and most exquisite ingredients on the planet.
