Japanese-Peruvian restaurant Fortu welcomed its “little sister,” sushi spot Isu (stylized all caps) in the space below its 97 Central Ave. location last month.

Its izakaya-style (Japanese small plates) menu also features Peruvian flavors, with items like steak and egg maki and wagyu gyozas served with sweet plantain.

Isu is offering a 10-item New Year’s Eve dinner including osetra, king crab, A5 Wagyu, fresh sashimi and Basque cheesecake for $155 per person, with a saki pairing for an extra $80.

Reservations are available on OpenTable. For updates and more information, follow @isu.downtown on Instagram or visit isurestaurants.com
