“sushi with discipline & simplicity”

He brings precision to the cutting of his sushi and a sense of the discipline of simplicity. His creativity is at work when he marries Nutella with hoisin sauce as a dip for freshly wrapped summer rolls of shrimp, pork confit, Thai basil and cilantro ($6 for 2). Too sweet for my taste, but a combination that some may enjoy. His tempura ($6) is crisply jacketed in batter. His saba ($5) buttery; his maguro, velvet. His broths have depth of flavor and his garnishes are well-conceived and fresh.
