replying to u/MrCakemeat: They’re definitely not newer. They ARE very traditional and fairly unapologetic in their approach. What did you not enjoy?
“None of the nigiri pieces stood out from the meal. I found the appetizers over sauced (eg yuzu sashimi with too much soy sauce). One of the white fish sashimi tasted plain bad - I think it had some raw squid or octopus on it and it was just a bad bite.”

“The best I’ve found is Victor at Kintsugi, who does have set menus but is more improvisational in how he adapts them to personal tastes.”

replying to u/laughingwalls: Hopefully I have a better experience. I can't really justify spending too much more on a meal e and this seems like the only place that's consistently kept its michelin star that under 200$ (not counting taxes, gratuity). I am hoping to give some of the 100$ places a spin over the next few months.
“I’d recommend just skipping 2 and doing nakazawa or kintsugi.”
