A speakeasy-style timed omakase from the Sushi by Bou chain, tucked into the Claridge House hotel in the Gold Coast — a compact counter where a chef walks you through a fast-paced nigiri progression built around a set time at the bar. More playful and accessible than the city's marquee omakase counters, but a fun, low-commitment way into the format. Come for a quick, lively omakase without the multi-hour sit.
