Ozumo
Ozumo is your destination for a quintessential far east experience and is popular among elite epicureans visiting the Embarcadero. The zen-inspired ambiance is an aesthetic illustration of futuristic accents and tasteful design that embodies a sleek and cutting-edge look that is synonymous with Japanese architecture. Bottles of sake that line the walls of the place double up as unique decor. The creativity translates onto the cuisine with an inventively-plated menu that defines modern Japanese gastronomy. Sushi aficionados are sure to love the contemporary rolls made from seasonal fish sourced from globe-spanning producers. Savor the likes of Tazuna, salmon tartare and yamagobo roll topped with snow crab and avocado, the Red Dragon tempura shrimp roll wrapped with tuna and avocado or Yasai Maki, seasonal vegetables with a tart ume plum sauce. Delicious seafood and meat preparations are freshly grilled on the traditional robata while the sake lounge boasts the largest selection of the rice fermented beverage in the country.
The pastel walls, linen tablecloths and Edwardian ambiance smacks more of a European cafe than a dynamite sushi and Japanese-style grill. The aesthetic, though, is as masterful as the rendition of Japanese favorites, such as the house specialty, the Ecstasy Roll, which mixes avocado, tuna, tobiko and green onions for a refreshing and tasty take on a hand roll. Also popular with the foodies and dotcommers who flock here are the tender and tangy Sesame Flank Steak as well as the grilled salmon spiked with lime and chilly. The service is personable and the mood is mellow. Opens Daily at 5.30 pm.
