Hinoki Sushiko-Official

Our beverage Director Zak breaks down his favorite whiskies into 3 categories: the cocktail, the daily sip, and the "treat yo self".

The cocktail: Chattanooga 91 Bourbon for its rich, oaky, and vanilla flavors.

The Daily Sip: Hatozaki 12 year umeshu cask for its light body, smoothnesss in flavor, and soft sweet finish making it the perfect end or beginning to a meal.

The "Treat yo self": Shibui 10 year Bourbon cask delivers unforgettable refined bourbon notes, which is mind blowing considering its mash is comprised of 100% long grain rice

Kampachi is a perfect fish for dry-aging. Every fish benefits from some sort of aging, but the firm and creamy texture of Kampachi makes for an amazing mouthfeel. After 1 week of drying, its flesh starts to get a sausage-like consistency that we like to call "fish charcuterie"

"One of the reasons I am hooked by Japanese cuisine is the incomparable flavors achieved through preservation methods. Japanese Culture thrived without refrigeration by applying curing, smoking, and fermentation to various ingredients to make it through the seasons of the year and minimizing any waste. Making for such smart uses while allowing for little to no waste and resulting in memorable flavors." Chef Gustavo/ Chef-Owner

Chu-toro, found on the belly of bluefin tuna. A rich bite with a fine, subtle sweetness at the finish.

Izakaya - The Japanese word izakaya (居酒屋) is made up of three kanji with the meaning, in order, “stay-drink-place.”

Ikura. You want it, we want it, your neighbor wants it, your picky-eater friend wants it. Our Ikura is marinated in Japanese whisky and tamari.

St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, approves this message.

An ancient and deceptively simple craft. Start with steaming short-grain white rice, then add Japanese vinegar to achieve our signature bright flavor

They’re as tasty as they look
