Best Japanese/Sushi Restaurant

Amu's owner, Nao-san, is best known for Sushi Zanmai, a raucous sushi spot that attracts legions of college students for raw fish and karaoke. With all that commotion, it's easy to miss the sliver of a spot right next door: Amu. That restaurant specializes in Japanese country fare, and for years it's turned out simple, excellent dishes -- including agedashi tofu, fermented soybeans, green mussels and many more beautifully presented delicacies, some of which are made up on the spot -- that show the depth of the cuisine. Last year, Nao-san brought on new chef Mune Taira, who's added more modern and flashy flourishes to the menu.
