With Japanese umbrellas, wooden fish, red lights and lanterns hung floor to ceiling, this little sushi nook on the Franklin strip is twinkly and romantic, serving up basic rolls and a decent selection of house specialties. The full bar, extensive sake list and fresh California-Japanese salads make it a good place for a casual date, but don't expect fast service from the friendly but overworked servers.
