SAMURAI BLUE – Japanese
Samurai Blue is Tampa's sushi-and-sake pair, with rooms in Ybor's Centro Ybor and up on Dale Mabry in Carrollwood. The bar leans social - sake flights, drink specials and a steady crowd - while the sushi side turns out rolls and nigiri built for sharing across a table. The Ybor location is a reliable pre- or post- anything stop given where it sits. Come for the sushi, stay because the sake list keeps suggesting one more.
