The story behind the bowl

Masahiko Oku trained in the Sumire lineage, then opened Saimi with a more balanced interpretation. Wok-charred miso, vegetables and ginger create warmth without letting fat dominate.

Before you go: Arrive before opening and protect time for the queue; this is a destination, not a quick backup.
