TAKEDA

16 Great Places to Eat Sushi in Manhattan

"Chef and owner Yukihiro Takeda helms the eight-seat counter: His Edomae-style, 19-course menu runs $280 and incorporates seafood flown in from Tokyo’s Toyosu fish market several times a week. A meal could start with tsumami like ikura (salmon roe) and Santa Barbara uni before eventually moving into Hokkaido scallop, akami (lean tuna), and iwashi (sardine). Note, Takeda doesn’t necessarily follow a traditional path typically defined by serving all nigiri back-to-back. Instead, bites are occasionally interspersed with creative dishes such as a maki roll filled with soba noodles in place of rice." - Eater Staff
