Sapporo, Shakopee

At Sapporo, a Japanese restaurant serving sushi rolls and hibachi, presentation is key. The lightly breaded and fried cutlets of chicken katsu come thinly sliced and undisturbed, as if transferred from cutting board to plate on the edge of knife. Slices of fresh fish or avocado often top hand rolls, along with a painterly drizzle of sauce, such as spicy mayo, or a sprinkling of bright-orange tobiko.
