Chef Tyson Cole's flagship Japanese-inspired restaurant is one of Austin's most acclaimed fine-dining destinations, earning a James Beard Award for Best Chef Southwest. The omakase-style ordering approach works best — let the knowledgeable staff guide you through seasonal crudo, the machi cure, and hot tastings like the foie gras nigiri. Reservations are essential and can be hard to snag weeks out.
