Food: Taste pays off the audacity
Santō triumphs with its audacious approach of pairing elements magnificently. The Hamachi Choco exceptionally marks its territory in fusion with its rich smokiness. The Otoro Sashimi impresses with its buttery texture and unmatchable quality. The Charcoal Seared Sushi, though fatty, enchants the palate, its smoky seasoning something to behold. These dishes echo creativity and freshness that simply cascades in every bite.
