Where to get your hosomaki fix across the city, from Oka and Sexy Fish to Sticky Mango.      


With spring showers as volatile as they currently are, it’s possible you’re thinking more about soup season than sushi. And we wouldn’t blame you, except that when you know the right spots for maki and chirashi, it’s hard to pick anywhere else to eat.

So whether you know your way around a menu or are a nigiri newbie, here are 11 delicious dining experiences across the city to try, from stalwarts like Sexy Fish to hotspots like Sticky Mango, no matter the season.

Its mouth-watering menu, crafted by head chef Alex Furusawa Cadoni, takes inspiration from the Ikebana principles of minimalism and is true to Japanese tradition with dishes including sashimi, lobster tempura and miso black cod and sakura inspired mochi to round off.
