"With only one seating each night at the omakase restaurant Tsuke Edomae—and only eight seats at the counter—securing a reservation is not easy. Other spots in town might feel more celebratory, or provide more value for your dollar. But you’re here to try classic edomae-style sushi in its purest form, combining a blend of thick-grained rice, aged vinegars, and high-quality fish with nothing but wasabi and soy sauce. Each piece is served to one guest at a time, and when your turn comes, it’s just you, the nigiri, and seven curious diners, attentively waiting their turn. Just be warned—that first bite is like a Matrix red pill/blue pill moment, and it’s difficult to go back to sushi anywhere else. " - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, raphael brion
