Sashimi is always a great hot weather meal, and we're lucky to have a fantastic place to get it in San Antonio.
Dig in: Yozora, a Japanese restaurant, sake bar and listening room near the Dominion, is a sister concept to downtown's Shiro Japanese Bistro.
The vibe: The atmosphere is dark and moody with tiled floors and wood walls. The focal point of the room is the vinyl turntable and large speakers. Guests can browse records and select one for staff to play.
What to try: Start with the Asian pear cucumber salad ($10) — the yuzu makes it incredibly light and refreshing.
- Then move to the crudo menu and have the pepper fin ($23): thinly sliced albacore with citrus soy, jalapeño and chili oil.
- I also loved the aburi machi ($24), a charcoaled and seared yellowtail tuna with spicy yuzu, ginger and dill.
The bottom line: The food here is art. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
