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

"This “sushi speakeasy” requires you to decode an email before you can enter the East Village restaurant. That might sound annoying, but we promise it's not. (And it’s really easy). This omakase is based around a loose plot in which you've been invited by the eccentric and reclusive Mr. Moto to dine amongst his collection of Japanese antiques. But the lightly themed dinner theater isn’t there to distract from any flaws. The 21-course meal ($215) is focused on hyper-seasonal ingredients, so expect pieces like shirako, or red gurnard, which you usually won’t find at other spots in this price range. For a more casual option, check out The Residence of Mr. Moto, which specializes in kaisendon." - bryan kim, neha talreja, hannah albertine, will hartman, sonal shah
