The neighborhood leans heavily Japanese: Sushi Ginza Onodera is a small, wood-hued Tokyo outpost known for its sushi counter with three omakase menus and a curated sake list, while Hihimanu Sushi and Omakase By Aung round out the raw-fish options with their own counter experiences. For something off the sushi track, Aburiya Ibushi brings Japanese grill-house flavors to the mix.
