It used to be that the VIP dressing rooms covertly tucked away from prying plebeian eyes were the most exclusive space at Saks, but now, that honor goes to Hoseki (Japanese for 'gem'), a 6-seat omakase sushi experience hidden down in The Vault.
Settled beside the luxury department store's cases of glittering fine jewelry and envy-inducing watches, Chef Daniel Kim tends to his intimate counter, serving up a thoughtfully designed 12-course feast of fresh sushi creations.
Pieces like Hokkaido Uni, seared Goldeneye, and Sea Bream with yuzu and truffle salt are artfully presented in the unexpected venue for a surprisingly friendly price of $95.
More money to spend shopping!
