Mirai Sushi
JAPANESE/SUSHI Blending a serious devotion to sushi and sake
with a decidedly youthful, funky-chic ambience, Mirai is a hot destination for cold raw
fish (though it ser ves other J apanese fare as w ell). You'd be surprised at ho w many city
kids enjoy sushi, and kids are more than welcome here. If you're out on a date night, the
futuristic second-floor sake lounge is the hippest place in to wn to slurp do wn sushi,
chilled sakes, and “ red ones,” the house cocktail of v odka with passion fr uit, lime, and
cranberry juices. The bright main-floor dining r oom offers a comparativ ely traditional
environment.
Fish is flo wn in daily for the sushi bar , where several chefs ar e hard at wor k master-
crafting a lo vely list of offerings—fr om the beginner sushi standar ds such as California
rolls and
ebi
(boiled shrimp) to escalating classifications of tuna, three additional shrimp
varieties, five types of salmon, a half-dozen varieties of fresh oysters, and a tantalizing list
of four caviars (in addition to the four roes offered). The informative sake menu of about
a dozen selections opens up a ne w world to diners accustomed to the generic carafe of
heated sake.
