"Cagen, a Japanese restaurant that first opened on East Ninth Street back in 2013, announced on Instagram that it would be closing its doors by the end of December. Cagen was started by Toshio Tomita, a long-time disciple of the world of Nobu, before breaking off on his own to open a restaurant that was much more low-key than the clubstaurant where he earned his stripes. “Selections from the 18-course omakase menu are flown in from Japan each day, like a recent flash-fried soft-shell crab atop a delicate tangle of yuzu-pickled red onions or a firm grilled sea bream,” New York Magazine wrote." - Emma Orlow
