The Clocktower, Danville
Kanazawa, Japan based Sushi Tamahime, renowned for their blackthroat seaperch (のど黒 ) sushi opened recently at The Clocktower in Danville. Check out their menu here. The Suntory beer and sake were really good. Sushi-wise, everything was delicious except not a fan of the Americanized cream-cheese roll. Apparently they have quite a few restaurants in Japan, including in Shibuya, under a different name, Kanazawa Maimon Sushi.
