While foodie trends come and go (cronuts, we hardly knew ye), sushi never goes out of style—and neither has this spot, a South End staple for a decade, an eternity in restaurant years. The contemporary yet timeless dining room is a beautiful backdrop to artfully presented rolls of the freshest raw fish, adorned with everything from truffle to red-wine pear. They’re justifiably pricey, but Kaiseki Lunch specials are filling and surprisingly affordable.
