"This Michelin-starred Seventh Street hideaway is a a standard-bearer for Japanese fine dining in New York that emphasizes the polished, multi-course kaiseki, or seasonal, style of eating. Chef Sono Chikara’s raw fish selection (whelk, sea eel, abalone) is matched by an equally thoughtful assortment of hot dishes ranging from chawanmushi, a type of savory egg custard, to chicken meatballs and clay-pot rice with seafood." - Dan Q.
