Kissaki Water Mill Opens For The SeasonOn April 13, sushi and Japanese fare restaurant Kissaki Water Mill officially launched its 3rd season on the East End.

In Japanese, “kissaki” translates to “tip of a blade” or “knife point” which is fitting since sushi chefs take their knives very seriously, and at Kissaki the fish is taken just as seriously.

The 18-seat omakase counter at Kissaki Water Mill, where the sushi chef serves the guest directly piece-by-piece, has two menu options — eight nigiri pieces plus miso soup and a handroll for $75, and 12 pieces plus miso soup and a handroll for $115.
