Japonessa: Sushi Cocina
Why You'll Love It
Japanese menu with hints of Latino flairBest sushi in the city, says Seattle Met:Occasional celebrity sightingsHow did Japonessa become the swankiest, most happening restaurant in Downtown? That's no mystery with executive chef Billy Beach (of Wasabi Bistro, Umi, Kushi Bar, and Rain fame) at the helm and a menu with the perfect touch of Latino flair. The only mystery is why we aren't there right now.
You must take any chance to experience Chef Beach’s cuisine that you can; the man basically created Seattle’s sushi culture in the 90s. And here’s a chance to experience his cooking at its most creative and personal level. He’s serving up multi-course dinners of the highest art form of traditional Japanese cooking, kaiseki.
Chef Beach only uses the freshest seasonal ingredients, so it’s hard to say what exactly you’ll get. But with possibilities like tenderloin tataki with butter ponzu and dashi broth with snow crab legs and kaiware sprouts, it’s easy to say that you won’t be disappointed.
