SHŌTŌ Washington DC

Behold the installation of lava rocks overhead! The 25-foot ceiling pays homage to Japanese basket weaving and one entire wall is green with preserved ivy. The food, from two top chefs, is just as fetching: one-bite tacos filled with salmon made creamy with wasabi aioli, pork ribs shiny with a barbecue sauce flavored with bonito and sushi cut with the precision of a Savile Row tailor. Hate making decisions? Spring for the five-course omakase.
