"Manhattan welcomed this new Japanese restaurant in early May from El Bulli-trained chef Chikara Yamada, who has a restaurant of the same name in Tokyo. Unlike New York’s other high-end omakases that specialize in sushi, the menu here focuses on kushiage, deep-fried Japanese skewers. The $180-per-person menu begins with a rosewater and sake martini before diving into dishes such as oyster bacon or tenderloin wasabi." - Marguerite Imbert
