A one-Michelin-star handroll omakase where Chef Sungchul Shim reframes temaki through a Korean lens. The pacing is elegant but approachable, with top-tier seafood and banchan-style interludes that make it feel like a full Korean tasting journey.
Must-Try Dishes: Seasonal handroll tasting, Cured mackerel roll, Final banchan & seafood course
