Kaze Lounge

You're walking along Creek Road in Greenwich, past the converted warehouses and new builds, when you spot the discreet entrance to Kaze. Inside, it's all calm precision and understated luxury—the kind of space that feels designed by someone who actually eats out rather than just reads about it. The sushi counter is the real draw: pristine fish, meticulous knife work, and chefs who'll chat you through each piece without the pretension. But it's the drinks list that surprised me most. They've clearly thought hard about what sits alongside Japanese food, moving well beyond the obvious sake selections.
