Bar Japonais

Chef Masaaki Uchino's Logan Circle restaurant pairs a classic French beverage program with an eight-course Japanese omakase that draws on the freshest seasonal ingredients arriving from Japan multiple times weekly. The menu might feature tempura scallion rolls with salmon and avocado or delicate nigiri with spicy mayo and crunchy accents, all presented with the kind of care that reflects Uchino's Japanese culinary training. The French wine pairing element distinguishes Bar Japonais from the city's other omakase counters.
