1. Look for the traditional curtains over the door at this superb sushi store. Although it’s in black and white, it’s still hard to miss!

2. Behind the display counter, the master chef prepares your sushi and serves it to you on the spot.

3. A banner with beautiful hand-written calligraphy adds an artistic touch to the shop.

4. Elegant little touches, like a black stone chopsticks holder and ceramic soy sauce dish, add a touch of class.
