Uogashi

Sushi masters quietly and confidently carve raw fish like butter at Uogashi, an upscale Japanese restaurant outfitted in pale wood. Sophisticated patrons pluck seafood morsels with their fingers, using chopsticks only for palate-freshening ginger shavings. Whether or not you eat with your hands, you’ll get warm towels at the meal’s start. Sitting at the long counter gives you a great opportunity to watch the chefs at work; for privacy, choose a table behind a swath of white fabric.
