The $250 does include the beverage pairings (wine, beer, sake, or non alcoholic) and gratuity. The price is the same even if you go non alcoholic. For what it’s worth they did a very nice job with the sake pairings on my last visit. However the ticket price has about doubled since they opened, and yeah, spending $500 on dinner for 2 makes me feel guilty and somewhat irresponsible.
Our Cafe Sushi omakase splurges cost little more than half of that, and those already feel like privileged excess.
