"With the help of Rahul Saito and Kuma Hospitality Group, the swankiest of Eiji Ichimura’s restaurants opened in Tribeca. New Yorkers know him from his namesake under-the-radar restaurant on Second Avenue in Midtown that closed in 2008. Today, the 10-seat space displays an East-meets-West aesthetic from the master who helped fine-tune the Stateside practice of aging fish for modern diners. His menu includes fish from Hokkaido and elsewhere around Japan, along with wares from suppliers at the Toyosu Market, with many items unavailable in America. It’s $450 per person for over 20 courses." - Nadia Chaudhury
