Nakama

"Trust in the chef, you’re in their hands." Like walking into a Tokyo dinner party in the 70's, Chef Jason Morimoto welcomes you into the warmth of his home, where the sake & the conversation never run dry & the audio accompaniment is ritual vinyl. You're seated at his counter before he guides you through a journey of only the finest & freshest sushi dishes, in traditional omakase fashion, yet through a singular point of view. From sustainably sourced Bluefin Tuna to A5 Wagyu, every Thursday - Saturday night Chef will be serving his unique style of Japanese tradition meets innovation. There are 2 seating options for this 14 course menu: 5:30 pm & 7:30 pm. Please communicate allergies at the time of booking. With advance notification, we can omit/substitute certain ingredients/dishes in most cases, but may have to omit a dish in rare cases. Unfortunately we can not accommodate shellfish allergies, soy allergies & egg allergies for The Omakase Bar, however we can for The HandRoll Bar & The Listening Room. Should you want to transfer your reservation, please contact us in advance to coordinate. For the Omakase, we ask that our guests respect the spirit of the word & tradition, & keep requests to needs, vs wants. Trust in Chef Morimoto.

Wisconsin's first temaki bar, where we blend the personal touch of a chef delivered course with the inclusivity of a neighborhood sushi counter.

The upstairs dining room of Nakama is an intimate escape from the bright lights of the city into the warmth & relaxation of a bygone analog era. Dinners here are meant to be enjoyed the same way that the vinyl soundtrack is meant to be heard: slowly, intentionally & enveloped in fabulous tradition.
