Dear Sushi

Chef Makoto Okuwa’s omakase menu is written like a love letter to sushi. Literally—it’s even got a red wax seal. The heart shows, beginning with seasonal snacks and a pair of hand rolls wrapped with extra-crackly nori shipped directly from Japan to the restaurant, which is inside the food hall Love, Makoto. Rounds of nigiri duel between “old school” (tuna with house soy and grated ginger) and “new school” (tuna slicked with miso-Wagyu oil and topped with crispy micro-chives). In both cases, the accompaniments thoughtfully and subtly enhance each piece of fish. Fruit-shaped sweets are an endearing sign-off.
