Mujō is a one MICHELIN star, intimate, omakase-only tasting menu experience serving modern edomae sushi led by Executive Chef J. Trent Harris. Our menu changes daily and reflects the best seasonal ingredients available, as well as fish flown in directly from Japan. The experience consists of a series of small plates and a progression of seasonal nigiri. We are inspired by the Japanese concept of ichi-go ichi-e, 一期一会, or “one time, one meeting. Our goal is not to recreate the sushiya of Japan, but to offer an experience that represents who and where we are, while respecting and honoring the traditions of edomae sushi. Inspired by the concept of omotenashi, but rooted in southern hospitality.

    We started the experience with oysters, miso soup and tacos wagyu & fish. The tacos were so wonderful, we ordered a second set of both. The tacos had fantastic flavor and were so very light. Added a couple of beef stewers to go with the Salmon and the Hanger steak. Oh, they cooked the salmon and steak to perfection, mid-rare on both. Nobu acheived perfection with the temp. To go along with the meal, we had the lychee martini and a tropicalia in addition to the sparkling water. The only this we noticed is the very slow service and lack of access to the server. The server was informative and helpful with the menu but, was not around when we needed assistance (dropped napkin and no chopsticks/dining utensils-taken with the dirty plates). Overall, I would highly recommend giving Nobu a go. Today, is the day after and the wife and I are still talking about the delicious food at Nobu and what we want to try next time.
