A sushi bar in San Jose
Nigiri, maki rolls and omakase, cut to order.
Hiraki is a sushi bar, a temaki hand roll bar and an izakaya under one roof on Curtner Ave in San Jose. At the sushi counter, fish is cut to order: nigiri two pieces at a time, from rich salmon toro and lean bluefin akami to chutoro and otoro, and seven signature maki rolls finished at the pass.
Not sure where to start? Let the chef choose. The Nigiri Omakase is 9 pc for $30, rotating with the season. It’s an easy way to try a range of fish at one of the newer sushi bars in the South Bay.
Pair it with a few raw plates from the izakaya side, like hamachi ponzu or spicy tuna crispy rice, and a cold sake.
