Our take: Lake View’s shape-shifting sushi den: Tanuki transforms fish into fantasy. Bring a bottle of shochu and prepare for magical mouthfuls.

Wine Pairing: The shape-shifting tanuki calls for versatile wines. Bring a Grüner Veltliner or a crisp Chablis. A dry sparkling sake is also fun.

Beer Pairing: Coedo Shiro, a Japanese hefeweizen, offers a unique pairing. For a local craft option, try Maplewood's Son of Juice IPA.

BYOB Policy: No hard liquor
