Brunch is usually a lazy man's meal, but it's impossible to slouch in the face of Kappo Tamura's high-def flavors. A breakfast here focuses attentions on the week ahead aE“ and the eating opportunities it holds.
Ritzy restaurants are often rougher during brunch, when staffers and patrons worn out by the night before are in the mood for loud music and strong coffee. Yet the lauded elegance of Sushi Kappo Tamura is kept intact on weekend mornings, when the restaurant serves a small selection of bespoke bento boxes and platters showcasing pristine seafood.
