Sushi Kodawari Now Open in the Crossroads

The highly-anticipated Omakase Sushi Counter Sushi Kodawari is now open at 2100 Central Street in the Crossroads.

• Small, Yet Mighty: The intimate space in the historic Meriden Creamery Building only seats eight, but the 15-course menu offers a mighty menu of fresh and seasonal fish from Japan and around the world.

• Along for the Journey: The omakase-style menu is set each day, so there is no pressure to order food. The bulk of the menu features Nigiri (balls of rice topped with raw fish) and will rotate based on the best products available. See a sample menu here.

Although reservations for July 5-14 are sold out, you can follow along on Instagram to see when new rounds of reservations will become available.
