- Is it worth going out of your way for?
- Yes, if you seek a traditional, intimate omakase experience. The Michelin star signals a disciplined execution of the Edomae format, with a direct connection to the chef and Japan-sourced fish. It's a destination for a focused, sequential tasting.
- Who is it for?
- It's for a serious date night, a special occasion, or a solo diner who wants an attentive, chef-driven meal. The quiet, counter-only format encourages close observation of the craft and isn't suited for a casual or noisy group dinner.
- What should you order?
- There is no menu; it's an omakase-only counter. The progression typically includes signature items like uni, abalone, and amadai (tilefish), moving from cooked appetizers through a series of nigiri to a dessert like Okinawa brown sugar sorbet.
- How do you get a table?
- Reservations are required and are made via Resy. With only eight seats and a single evening seating from Tuesday to Saturday, bookings are competitive and should be secured well in advance.
- Anything to know before you go?
- Plan for an evening-length, focused dinner. The restaurant is in a basement on East 44th Street and is closed Sunday and Monday. The price is around $250 per person for the omakase experience.
