"Entering this humble five-seat counter—tucked in the corner of an unrelated restaurant and through the glass doors of a print shop—is a reminder not to judge a book by its cover, as Chef Yoji Masuda’s artfully simple, meticulous cooking earns its One MICHELIN Star. With warm, attentive hospitality from his wife Akari, the meal flows from an indulgent savory “pudding” of sweet, pure monkfish liver to a wonderfully gelatinous beltfish cooked with sake and kombu, before arriving at impeccable nigiri that showcases exceptional ingredients with singular delicacy and precision." - Michael He
