Kabuto@Las Vegas ★★★

Authentic Omakase Sushi. Next thing closest to Jiro Dreams of Sushi. Fresh fish imported from all over Japan, even the rare ones. Please make reservation. You can also reserve specific kinds of fish you want, eg. Uni and Amaebi. Since they have limited quantity (fresh), their fish runs out pretty fast. Omakase Course is $80 per person.
