sushi bars
Raw fish eateries
Sushi bars are restaurants or counters specializing in sushi, the Japanese dish of vinegared rice topped or rolled with raw fish, seafood, and vegetables.
The term emphasizes the bar-style seating where customers sit facing the chef, watching their food being prepared—a key part of the experience.
We grabbed seats at the sushi bar and let the chef choose our omakase.
Unlike typical restaurants, sushi bars often encourage direct interaction between diner and itamae (sushi chef).
