The Center Stage
Raw precision. Temaki, sushi omakase, and the finest cuts of fish — worked at the counter with focus and restraint. Close enough to watch every move.
The Fire Stage
Live fire, no shortcuts. Binchotan charcoal, yakitori, seasonal skewers — served the moment they leave the grill.

Three Bentoville Boxes and a carefully curated selection of onigiri — everything you need to take the experience with you.
Onyx East
