Sushi & sake bar · Bell Street

Neighborhood sushi, natural sake, no attitude.

Nigiri and rolls done right, small plates worth sharing, and a sake list our bartenders actually love talking about. Come as a two-top or a table of six.

Reservations, walk-ins, and a bar that's first-come, first-served all night.

The room

It's the kind of place you come for a first date and end up a regular. Warm light, a busy bar, and a chef who'll steer you right if you ask.

We're not an omakase temple and we're not a conveyor belt. We're a neighborhood sushi bar — order a few things, share a few things, order a few more.

🪑

Reserve or walk in

Book a table ahead, or grab a bar seat whenever — the bar's never reserved.

🍶

A real sake list

Twenty-plus by the glass and bottle, sorted by how they taste, not how they're classified.

🍤

Cooked, too

Tempura, grilled fish, karaage — nobody at your table has to eat raw fish.

🌱

Vegetable-forward

Deliberate vegetarian nigiri and plates, not just "hold the fish."

The signature

How are you dining tonight?

Tell us who you're with and we'll suggest a way to order — then filter it to how you eat. No wrong answers; the chef will adjust anything.

Suggestions and prices are demonstration content. Tell your server about allergies — soy, sesame, wheat, egg, fish, and shellfish are all in the kitchen and we can't guarantee no cross-contact.

Sake & drinks

Sorted by taste, not by lecture.

New to sake? Just point at a mood. Our team pours by the glass so you can try a few.

Light & clean
crisp, delicate

Easy to love, great with white fish. A gentle place to start.

Fruity & aromatic
ginjo-style

Floral, a little sweet — crowd-pleasers by the glass.

Rich & savory
junmai / kimoto

Fuller and earthier, for grilled dishes and fatty fish.

Sparkling & nigori
bubbly / cloudy

Fun to open a meal with, or to finish sweet.

Junmai, ginjo, daiginjo just describe how the rice is milled and made — ask and we'll explain in one sentence. Served warm or chilled depending on the bottle.
