so look for the Kajima’s Building's set of exterior stairs in the center of the block; walk up to the second-floor lobby, enter through the glass door and take the middle elevator down to the B level. It sounds like the plot of a spy movie, but it's not. It's how you arrive at this sleek, edomae-style omakase with a sprinkling of seats at the counter. Fish is sourced from Japan, with bluefin tuna hailing from Mexico and Spain, and the cocktail pairing is a nice complement. Nigiri is left to shine with a stroke of nikiri and simple toppings of yuzu kosho or ginger, but items like the shredded sous vide scallop roll prove that they're willing to be playful, too. Shrimp cake with panko-battered, deep-fried lotus root is spot on, while minced spearhead squid topped with Hokkaido bafun uni tucked in nori hits all the right notes. Soy sauce cheesecake is a smooth and rich ending.
