   Don’t be fooled by its unassuming location - sandwiched between Barnes & Noble and Macy’s, Amaterasu is a true hidden gem. Sushi Chef Hideo Ohmiya breaks from rigid tradition, delivering a refreshingly inventive omakase that pushes the boundaries of classic sushi. Highlights include Hawaiian-style uni with garlic butter, perfectly tender shrimp, seared sumo katsuo (bonito), and tai delicately finished with umami-rich moshio (Japanese seaweed salt) and a hint of soft lemon. Each bite is a savory revelation. The flavors here don’t just impress—they command your attention. The sushi flavors burst through the palate, leaving no room for anything bland or forgettable. Much of what’s offered is both seasonal and rare, elevating the experience beyond the ordinary. Amaterasu has quickly earned a top spot in my dining rotation. Though new to the scene, Chef Hideo is not to be underestimated—he delivers a masterclass in bold, flavor-driven sushi that both honors and reinvents tradition.
