The Charlottesville 29

You can now enjoy sushi in the comfort of your own home from one of the Charlottesville area’s most revered sushi chefs. Yoshihiro Tauchi worked for seven years at TEN before opening his own restaurant, Kokoro (later Mican), where, in the back of York Place, he earned a reputation for his sourcing, knife skills, and delicious food.

That restaurant closed in 2016, but Tauchi has now launched a catering service offering sushi delivered to your home, or prepared onsite. Meals can be custom-designed, based on tastes, allergies, and price. Or, you can do as we did: place yourself in his hands, and just say, omakase.

We had yellowtail from Ehime, scallop from Hokkaido, mackerel from Aomori, red sea bream from Kumamoto, tuna from Suriname, salmon from Scotland, and salmon roe from Alaska.
