Food is excellent, however just a little over priced for sushi for the portion size they make.

It's always excellent. Best restaraunt on the island for me! Make a reservation.

Loved coming here! My first time and I was super impressed by it all. The food was delicious and the service was spectacular. I think it is so cool that you can enjoy food from the neighboring restaurant too!
Imoto (Japanese for little sister) is located next door to big brother buccan in Palm Beach. Come enjoy Chef Clay Conley's take on the Japanese and Pan-Asian cuisine that he fell in love with while living and working in Japan. Peking duck tacos, tuna & foie gras slider, spicy seared yellowtail roll, hamachi sashimi...your new favorites are waiting for you.
In Japan, traditional izakayas are saké bars with small plates of comfort food. Modern izakayas, like the many in Miami and other cities trendier than Palm Beach, add sushi to the menu, as well as broader pan-Asian orientation. Located next door to chef Clay Conley's Buccan, this small sibling has a limited menu --- about two-thirds focusing on raw seafood dishes and one-third on fried or wood-fire grill/oven-cooked selections. Conley's batter, which coats Buccan's deep-fried "Crispy" items in delicate crispiness, does the same for Maine crab and uni kakiage (mixed-ingredient tempura fritters) and even common Florida rock shrimp tempura. Nigiri (single sushi pieces) are offered in both classic form and with chef-driven inspirations, encouraging entertaining taste-tests: is hamachi sushi best plain, or do touches of lemon, astringent shiso salt, and yuzu kosho bring out the fish's natural butteriness better? The regular wine list is small, but the saké line-up is pretty much a "Saké 101" textbook for everyone; additionally there are interesting cocktails with ingredients like yuzu and shiso leaf that complement rather than overwhelm the food.
