Dining Guide

Striking a balance between cozy bistro and modern Asian eatery, Zen Toro in Davis picks up where its original Sacramento home left off. Nestled inside Mansion Square downtown, it’s easy to miss. The most popular sushi roll is the ZT (Zen Toro) crunch roll: shrimp tempura, avocado and crab meat salad, topped with barbecue eel and tuna. Wash it all down with the deliciously sweet Choya plum wine. Prefer sake? Zen Toro has nearly an entire page of its menu devoted to the classic rice-based beverage. Not sure which one to pick? Try a three-sake sampler for a mere $9.
