Uchi Description:
Faithful sushi-lovers migrate to this crimson-colored, cozy house for high-quality sushi and the most imaginative Japanese fusion fare in town. Youthful chef Tyson Cole trained extensively in Japan; his expertise and personal innovation show on every artfully arranged plate. Experience dishes such as his Alaskan king crab sashimi drizzled with vanilla oil and dotted with dried blueberries. Or opt for the cool toro nuta of silky bluefin with dried cranberries, Marcona almonds and white soy. We've found the freshwater eel, flounder, spicy scallop, and anago sushi with orange and slivered ginger all to taste pristinely fresh. The "shag" roll, named after a loyal customer, has become known for its combination of salmon, avocado and sun-dried tomato wrapped in a tempura batter, then garnished with a dramatic squid ink and sumiso sauce. Yakimono offerings are grilled over Japanese oak and may feature a Norwegian mackerel with spice trio or another selection that arrive fresh daily from the sea. Ask about the ever-changing multi-course tasting menu---a must for the culinary-adventurous. A noteworthy wine list is punctuated by an impressive saké selection.
