If you're craving sake and sushi, check out Toraya Grill. Lounge awhile in the modest bar area before moving on to the sushi bar or a table. A slew of great appetizers like udon noodles with seared spicy tuna ($10.25), agedashi (fried) tofu ($5.75), and, of course, the great traditional sushi are perfect complements to the sake sampler ($9.95) that offers healthy servings of three different sakes (dry, medium-dry, and sweet).
