The 19 Best Sushi Spots In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"New Yorkers who have done their fair share of expensive omakases will especially appreciate Sushi Sho, because the format is a little different than other high-end spots. The $450 20-course omakase is followed by an exciting okonomi portion where you can choose your own pieces. And rather than one chef explaining everything, attendants stand behind your seat ready to give glimpses into the invisible effort—ice aging or vinegar curing, for example—of each course. They'll tell you more about the fish fermented in vinegared rice or octopus that’s been “massaged for an hour by chef” Keiji Nakazawa. Everything is as delicious as it is educational. Did you know dried herring pop-pop-pops between your teeth, but mullet roe chews into creaminess like cheese?" - bryan kim, neha talreja, hannah albertine, will hartman, sonal shah
