Our take: South Loop’s sushi skyline: Kai Sushi rolls out skyscraper-worthy flavor stacks. Bring a bottle of Junmai Daiginjo and elevate your sushi experience.

Wine Pairing: For this Kai location, try a different pairing. Bring a crisp Sancerre or a complex Junmai Ginjo sake. A dry Vouvray also works well.

Beer Pairing: Yoho Brewing's Suiyoubi No Neko Belgian White Ale pairs well. For a local option, try Off Color's Apex Predator Farmhouse Ale.

Spirits Pairing: Bring a bottle of Nikka Coffey Gin for Japanese-inspired cocktails. For sipping, try a premium junmai daiginjo sake like Hakkaisan Snow-Aged.
