It’s not often that we’ll recommend a $60 sandwich, but this is worth every single penny. The sandwich is served with black truffles and housemade stone-ground mustard. Colbert coats the beef with breadcrumbs and deep fries i quickly in sesame oil. This A5 wagyu is the pinnacle of beef, attaining the highest beef marbling score (BMS) possible. The gold medal winner, though, is the A5+ Wagyu Sando. The $35 nigiri brought vibrancy and a velvety mouthfeel to the Toki that I’ve never experienced while drinking this Japanese classic. The fish is flown in fresh from Hawaii and has never been frozen. Photo by Josh ArmendarizĬolbert also offers a plate of toro nigiri - three pieces of fatty tuna belly. The toro nigiri brought new life to Suntory Toki. The salmon is accompanied by avocado and fish roe. Colbert cures the fish with rice wine vinegar in lieu of traditional soy sauce.

Yamazaki is a highly-decorated single malt whiskey and has been mentioned many times in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible. The A5+ Wagyu Sando and Yamazaki 12yr were born to be together. White Oak, another blended whiskey, evokes hints of toffee, butter and oak.
Harmony tastes more of orange, apricot and other stone fruits. Toki’s slightly citrusy and spicy taste is a wonderful way to wake up the palate. Diners may be familiar with Toki as it is commonly used in Japanese Highballs. Toki and Hibiki Harmony are blended whiskies from Suntory’s three distilleries: Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita. A flight of all four costs $45 and is available at the bar only. April’s selections focus on Japanese whiskies Akashi White Oak, Hibiki Japanese Harmony, Suntory Whisky Toki and Yamazaki 12 Year Old. It’s with that spirit in mind that Mastro’s has launched its monthly whiskey pairing series.
