FOODIE FEATURE: MARCUS GARCIA, Managing Partner and Sommelier at OZUMO

“The Ozumo Happy Hour is daily from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and all day Friday with offerings from ribs to chicken wings to spring rolls to handmade sushi rolls with blue fin tuna,” says Marcus Garcia, Managing Partner and Sommelier at Ozumo.

For almost 25 years, Ozumo on the San Francisco Waterfront has been serving up sensational sushi and sashimi shipped daily, directly from Japan. Their beverage program is unparalleled with rare sakes, killer cocktails and wine offerings from the new world and old. Bordeaux and Burgundy wine fans will be especially happy here.

The robata grill serves up A-5 wagyu that melts in your mouth. For groups or even a couple on date night the palate pleasing platters are a good way to explore the massive menu.

UME PLATTER
8 piece nigiri assortment - featuring tai, hamachi, sake, ebi, kani, shiro maguro, zuke toro, tamago, served with unagi hand roll

MATSU PLATTER
Premium piece nigiri assortment - featuring ika, hotate, kanpachi, California uni, A-5, buritoro, benitoro, otoro served with zuketoro, tai, chutoro sashimi and unagi hand roll

In my view, the shared platters above offer the freshest, tastiest, happy tummy inducing sushi you will ever enjoy. It’s all happening at Ozumo right now as they count down to their 25th Anniversary. Happy hour all day on Friday, yes all day! There is a new lounge menu, DJs on Fridays and Saturdays from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Plus, Omakase style tasting dinners on request with wine or sake pairings.

There’s more - wine dinners monthly like July 24 with Far Niente and August 7 with Scherrer Vineyard.

Come for the fresh fish, expansive wine list, the sake and the stellar cocktails. I’ll be at the bar for Happy Hour - all day Friday! See you at Ozumo soon, one of the best sushi restaurants in the Bay where every dining experience is elevated. “Kanpai!”
