MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
Push open a heavy, carved black-painted wood door to this space brimming with old world charm and modern touches. Moody Tongue Sushi is from the folks behind Moody Tongue Brewing in Chicago, albeit with Hiromi Iwakiri's sushi taking center stage. There is an à la carte menu, but the way to go is their nigiri sets creatively paired with beer. Some of the standouts include ora king salmon paired with the Sour Watermelon Saison and madai with orange zest matched with Orange Blossom Blonde. Oak Barrel Aged Flanders Red Ale is paired with sweet jumbo shrimp topped with Hokkaido uni and a dot of caviar for an impressive duo. There are full cocktail and wine lists, but with great beers on tap, why bother? The Shaved Black Truffle Rice Lager is an exclusive, and well worth the price tag.
