Once again, we mention the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi. If you have seen this, you would remember the apprentice who spent the entire film trying to master the art of tamago, and crying over it in the process.
The apprentice, Daisuke Nakazawa, is now the head chef of the very successful Sushi Nakazawa in NYC. In 2018, he opened a second location in the former Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., to much controversy. Finally, the Trump hotel is gone, and boycotters are ready for their long-awaited omakase splurge.
As our Christmas gift, Ricci and Amy took us to Sushi Nakazawa in D.C., currently the city's only Japanese spot that has a Michelin star.
We all ordered omakase, and a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne.

Recommendations: Highly recommended. Very expensive. We are so happy that there is a fine-dining sushi place close to us. This one rivals the Kashiba Sushi in Seattle, and may even have the best tuna flight we have ever had. You should definitely splurge and come here for a special occasion.
