Thanks! This is very helpful.
I now recall having had an unimpressive omakase meal at Ichi around 2012. I’ve eaten there a-la-carte several times since and still don’t get what all the fuss is about. I also ate at Akiko once, some five years ago, but it wasn’t omakase, and I similarly didn’t feel the need to return.
I hadn’t head of Okoze before. Do you recommend them just for their omakase, or could this also be the workhorse go-to sushi joint that’s been missing in my life?
Curious to hear other people’s opinions, and looking forward to checking out some of these places.
