Stopped at Purple for lunch one day, when rushed to get back to work. Chef Jack was gracious, friendly, and quick. "Sushi A" (my very unimaginative choice) was super, along with a glass of J. Moreau & Fils Blanc, in lovely stemware that is the same shape as Riedel's $100-per-stem Burgundy Grand Cru glass.
Went back later in the week with a friend and a bit more time. Ordered "Chef's Choice." Incredible! Chef Jack did an absolutely lovely presentation (see photo at right). The assortment included hako (box) sushi, at top, as well as Chef's own housemade salmon caviar, nearest stem of wine glass. The assortment also included a wonderful marinated cherry-blossom leaf, which wrapped one of the sushi. Don't use excessive soy or wasabi, until you have tasted the subtleties of Chef's work.
Don't miss this experience!
