Tomisushi Restaurant, San Jose

In Focus: Tomi Sushi

• Specialty: authentic Japanese cuisine made with traditional recipes
• Must-try sushi roll: the extra special chirashi, which layers a variety of thin-sliced fish and seafood on a bed of rice
• Must-try entree: Katsu Don—a pork cutlet with egg served over rice
• Best reason to stop in during the day: the specially-priced Tomi bento box, which compiles chicken or beef teriyaki, saba, tempura, and sashimi or three California rolls
• Décor: soft cedar-wood hues, illuminated by a deluge of natural light and accented with gentle pops of coral
• How to find it: look for a hanging wooden sign that simply says “Restaurant” on it
