What people say, in short
Many diners praise ShoMon Kappo Sushi in Belltown for its kaiseki-style omakase, where a couple single out the nigiri. One diner who visited for a birthday found it phenomenal, and some describe a mix of nigiri and other dishes rather than sushi alone. Several note it is pricey, and a couple say it is worth the cost. One diner who ranks it among the city's top omakase says the top spots, this one included, do not serve plain salmon nigiri, and one notes the menu changes with the seasons.
