Awards

Why Haru Omakase why was this picked

We sat the counter for true omakase pacing instead of a la carte sushi theater. Courses arrive as Haru decides, and the room stays intimate. It suits Polaris diners who want craft over scene and will book ahead for a private-feeling counter night. It is a practical Columbus pick we would send a friend to without hedging.

  • True omakase pacing, not a la carte
  • Intimate counter like a private room
  • Polaris craft over nightlife scene
