"Hasaki was one of the city’s first sushi spots to offer an edomae omakase, earning a spot as a veritable East Village institution since 1984. The brainchild of Little Tokyo pioneer Bon Yagi, the restaurant delivers a consistently strong chef’s tasting menu — tiered pricing ranges from $60 to $110 — along with several uncomplicated sashimi and sushi combinations. In addition to raw-fish offerings, there are tempura options and seaweed salads." - Dan Q. Dao
