Fuse Japan

Well, it's actually about five months old. A reader tipped us off that there's a new restaurant in the old Fuse space downtown. It's called Fuse Japan, and it opened in late January. General manager Drew Klingbeil, whose last gig was as a manager at Dish, describes the menu as Japanese fusion, but more traditional Japanese than Fuse was. (If you remember, Fuse fused Japanese and Texas cooking.) There's a full sushi menu, and a new sushi chef is about to come on board. It looks "pretty much the same inside," says Klingbeil. Kang Lee is the owner, says Klingbeil, who promises to hook us up with menus later today. I'll update the post then. No website yet; they're working on it.
