Sakana – Japanese
Sakana invites guests into an intimate sanctuary where the delicate artistry of Japanese coastal cuisine is celebrated through vibrant small plates and masterfully seared seafood. The kitchen balances the earthy crunch of mountain potatoes and the silken richness of monkfish liver with the smoky, melt-in-your-mouth allure of grilled yellowtail cheek. Each dish, from the zesty tang of garlic ponzu to the tender bite of baby octopus, creates a sensory tapestry that captures the elegant, soulful essence of the sea.
