🍣 Taste of the Ocean｜Napa

A new Japanese restaurant opened downtown earlier this year — I went during their soft opening! Their fish supplier also works with Morimoto 🐟. The sashimi was incredibly fresh: salmon and tuna melted in your mouth, zero fishy taste. My favorite was the lightly torched sea bream. The uni (sea urchin) gunkan was sweet and super satisfying 🧡. The tempura was just okay — the batter felt a bit oily and under-seasoned. Some people discovered this place by chance downtown and decided to give it a try 🍴; others came because they’d been to their Bay Area location and wanted to celebrate the Napa branch’s opening. No matter how you find them, it’s clear they put heart into their ingredients and service — and that doesn’t go unnoticed 👏. #Sashimi #Uni #Salmon #JapaneseFood #NapaValley #NapaEats #FoodDiary
