Well, here’s a clever combo: 888 — Nashville’s newest Japanese restaurant opening in September — brings new meaning to fusion cuisine by offering both refined Japanese fare and a vinyl record listening lounge.

The result: An immersive, high-fidelity dining experience featuring meticulously crafted acoustics paired with signature Japanese eats + drinks, like:

  • Nigiri
  • Cured salmon onigiri
  • Hot karaage (Japanese fried chicken)
  • Rare whiskies + craft beer
  • Curated sake

888 is attached to JW Marriott Nashville — just look for the red light at 8th and Clark Place.
