Enjoy world-class omakase at Sushi Ichifuji

What to expect: The restaurant seats its 10-guest dining room twice per night for an omakase meal — meaning, you turn the meal over to the chef for a multicourse affair.

• Chefs Masato Fujita and Hiroshi Ichikawa offer two options: an eight-course meal for $160 with sashimi, nigiri, appetizers and cooked dishes; or a $140 meal with fewer courses.
• They change the menu for each season.

What to try: You won't have many choices to make, but on the spring menu, the side-by-side sea urchin from San Diego and Japan stood out, as did the Japanese sardine.

• They also offer a curated sake list that they'll be happy to drink with you.
