Worth sorting out first
- Ask where the sashimi-grade fish is coming from and on what day it is bought.
- Pregnant guests, or anyone who avoids raw fish? Tell the chef early so cooked pieces can be planned.
- Sushi menus here start at 2 guests and go up to 20, each with its own bands; find yours before you pick.
- Read the dishes rather than the menu title; that is what decides who is on this page.
