Nashvillians are in a new age of high-end, innovative sushi. A moody vinyl bar with killer sake, 888 is the ideal pre- (or post-) concert date night downtown. For sake, try the crisp Koshiki Junsukuri Northern Skies with the chef’s selection of sashimi. In the mood for something higher-end but still fun? Try the tasting menu at Sushi | Bar. This over-the-top evening of single bites will leave you full and fascinated. Think hotate (scallop) with French seaweed butter, hamachi with jalapeño or Zuwaigani crab (Japanese snow crab) with dashi butter. Bonus: Dinner at Sushi | Bar is also a master class in ingredients — did you know cold winter waters around Japan yield higher fat content in fish and thus more flavor? You learn, you taste, you love.
