Nanami Sushi Diner & Onigiri New Orleans

A fish called three line grunt ? Very specifically young yellowtail? Japanese barracuda?

There’s always something I’ve never tried before on the lengthy specials board(s) around @nanamiuptown

And so, even when on one visit, all I intended to have was a simple bento box lunch I of course, overordered once again.

With no flash, just great fish, chef Yuwa has created, but truly feels like a Japanese restaurant, not just another Restaurant serving sushi.

The ethos of the craft carry through the whole operation — including that onigiri bento box.

Seasonal sea eel, raw scallop scores into a flower of soft ruffles, uni and handrolls and always something new arriving for the next shipment.

He will do “dressed”
sushi with sauces and because this is on trend and in demand, but prefers not to.

My advice, put yourself in this sushi chef’s hands.
