Brent Kroll's Wine Man-Cave, A Mini-Omakase and More Intel

Omakase for less

Overwhelmed by the price — or the amount of food involved — during a Japanese omakase experience? Try Sushiko's new mini-omakase, which is $50 for five courses. There's sushi, sashimi, two non-sushi dishes and a dessert. Items will change weekly, and a reservation isn't needed (the restaurant already has a $90 nine-course omakase and a $60 sushi-only option).
