🍣 Sushi Ran – Sausalito | Off-Menu Omakase Secrets

Chef’s Omakase with bonus uni and toro

This isn’t just sushi — this is a Sausalito institution. If you want to go beyond the menu, ask for the Chef’s Omakase with bonus uni and toro. Regulars swear by the unlisted “A5 wagyu nigiri” and the special yuzu kosho tuna belly, but it’s all at the chef’s whim. Trust them.
