In 1852, Matthew Perry, father of the USA Steam Navy, was assigned a diplomatic mission by American President Millard Fillmore to open Japanese ports to the west trade. The Admiral sailed four steam ships from Norfolk, Virginia to Japan. Along that trip the salt water stained the metal ships black. At that time, the Japanese had never seen such machines and referred to them as the “black ships”. This is where we take our name. Perry didn’t just open up Japan but all of Asia. This fateful meeting of the East and West cultures plays out in our menu.

Excellent first experience. Tried their $39 3-course lunch special and it was delicious! We had the meat sushi, salmon tartare, herb salmon, wagyu burger and cheesecakes, all on point and tasty. They also treated us to Turkish coffee. Definitely coming back.

First time trying Musume before a show at DSO. Food and service were outstanding! We also tried a bottle of sake based on the recommendation of our server and so glad we did. The wrath sushi roll with fresh wasabi was perfection. Also enjoyed the yuzu dessert. I’m looking forward to our next opportunity to be back. Well worth the price.

We visited this restaurant for a New Year’s dinner and enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere. The staff is very professional and knowledgeable. They offer a wide selection of foods and beverages. We particularly loved the premium chef’s sushi selection and the udon noodles, both of which were fantastic. You can choose to make this a more expensive meal for an upscale date night, or opt for more affordable options. We will definitely be back!
