Fin Sushi & Sake Bar knows that one way of showing respect for classic recipes is to play with them. The menu presents guests with two types of appetizers: traditional and fusion. On one side, edamame and gyoza tempt with rich, familiar tastes. The chefs aren't even afraid to slide their sushi into the oven—the baked-snapper roll basks in the heat alongside garlic butter—though they prep snow crab, tuna, and salmon in several uncooked staples as well. This creativity rewards diners with both proven Japanese entrees and inventively flavored plates.

To accompany the food, a compilation of more than 30 hand-selected sakes delivers tastes that range from sweet and citrusy to dry and complex, and brimming cups cross over a luminous blue bar on their way to tables.
