747 Douglas Ave, Nashville, TN 37207, USA Website ↗ Japanese

Married couple Brian Lea and Leina Horii are behind this popular restaurant that fills quickly. It's all about Japanese comfort food, with a nod to a kissaten, or a cozy tea shop. Their menu is concise and designed for sharing. This a team who cares about the details, and from ingredient quality to execution, it's all done with a simplified finesse. Don't miss the onigiri with three triangles of rice with different fillings, including shredded snow crab and avocado, cod roe and a curry with kabocha squash. Larger dishes include grilled yellowtail collar with a vibrant ponzu sauce or chilled ramen salad for a seasonal twist on a standby. For dessert, you won't go wrong with miso crème brûlée or yuzu parfait.
