Kozue Restaurant, Seattle

###Four Things to Know About Kozue Restaurant Since it’s tucked in an unassuming corner in Wallingford, this hotspot for Japanese cuisine and sushi might be easy to miss. But here are five reasons you won’t want to pass Kozue Restaurant by. * **You may be able to brush up on your Japanese.** The restaurant’s chef-owner, Shigeki Kajita, was a longtime Japanese teacher at UW’s Experimental College. * **It’s teeny tiny.** The eatery only houses six four-top tables, so large groups might have a bit of a wait. * **The deck gets drenched in sunlight.** If the weather’s nice, this bi-level deck is a great place to drink in the sun or a whole bottle of soy sauce. * **The restaurant is very casual.** Leave the black tie at home, as you’ll be quite comfortable in jeans and flip-flops.
