What's New Kinme Omakase is an immersive Japanese dining experience and the passion project of Shihomi Borillo and Executive Chef Nao Ichimura of Azuki Sushi that just debuted in Bankers Hill. Differentiating itself from other omakase (a form of Japanese dining in which guests leave themselves in the hands of the chef) concepts, Kinme draws from kaiseki principles to create a curated multi-course experience that evolves with the seasons. Kinme's ten-course monthly tasting menu offers a course-by-course experience that begins with a single ingredient. Chef Ichimura meticulously prepares the day's catch from hand-selected fish, while Chef de Cuisine Kevin Alvarado pays homage to seasonality by implementing his classic French training and his knowledge of San Diego's rich selection of produce. To accompany the cuisine, Kinme boasts a selection of vintage Burgundy wines, exclusive sakes, as well as a highly curated selection of Japanese whiskeys. With just ten seats, secured only by reservations released at the beginning of each month, a meal at Kinme is a sought-after experience. The 900-square-foot space is designed to eliminate distractions, allowing for a meditative environment in which guests sit at a central table and can focus on the process of the dish preparation and the intricacies of the cuisine. 858.947.1518, kinmeomakase.com With a new location in Del Rayo Village in Fairbanks Ranch to complement its Cardiff and La Jolla studios, The Smart Fit Method is a revolutionary fitness concept founded in San Diego in 2020 by father-son duo Rob Darnbrough and Connor Darnbrough designed to increase health span and achieve fitness goals by combining cutting-edge technology with personal training.
