Koshō by Tabu is doing omakase sushi in SoBro at a level that requires you to pay attention rather than simply order. The sourcing is serious — fish that arrives fresh and is handled with the precision the format demands. The counter experience is properly paced. The kitchen is not performing omakase for people who've never had it; it's doing the real thing for people who have and know the difference.
Nashville's sushi landscape has improved considerably in a short period. Kashō sits at the top of it alongside Kase x Noko, which is different in format but operating at the same level of commitment. The two restaurants together make the city's omakase argument more credible than it had any right to be five years ago.
Counter omakase with real product quality and precise technique. A kitchen doing the real thing for people who know what they're eating.
