715 Sushi
9.1
Chef Seigo Tamura's intimate seven-seat omakase counter delivers Edomae-style sushi with a refreshingly modern edge. The Osaka-born chef sources fish exclusively from Japan, dry-aging select cuts in-house while maintaining meticulous attention to his blend of Hitomebore and Koshihikari rice served at body temperature.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for 3rd+ dates - the $500 price tag and 2+ hour commitment is intense for getting-to-know-you, but perfect for impressing someone you're already serious about
Can I get a table without a reservation? Absolutely not - reservations open exactly 30 days in advance and fill within hours. Set a calendar reminder and book at midnight when the window opens
Is it kid-friendly? No - the intimate 7-seat counter and $500 minimum makes this adults-only territory. Minimum age unofficially 16+, but really best for mature diners who appreciate omakase pacing
How long does dinner take? Plan for 2-2.5 hours for the full 22-course experience. Chef Tamura paces each piece thoughtfully, so don't book if you're in a rush
Is the sake pairing worth it? Yes if you're into natural/biodynamic wines - the sake selection is curated specifically for this style, adds $150-200 but elevates the experience significantly
Best For
Better for: Intimate, chef-driven experience with Japan-sourced fish and dry-aging techniques you won't find at larger omakase spots; laidback luxury without stuffy formality despite the price point
Skip if: Budget under $600/person with drinks, want à la carte options, prefer larger group settings, or need last-minute reservations - this requires planning and commitment
