America’s 9 Best Omakase Restaurants That Are Not Sushi
"Still somewhat of a hidden Greenpoint Gem, HOUSE Brooklyn is the French-Japanese counter engagement from Kyoto native Yuji Tani, who also operates a restaurant of the same name (House) in Tokyo. Situated within 50 Norman—a minimalist-designed, multi-concept space that’s also home to a dashi specialist and Japanese lifestyle shop—the slim, 700-square-foot, eight-seat restaurant hinges on monthly-changing seasonal Japanese plates via a nine-course tasting menu. Chef says that he’s inspired by French ingredients such as foie gras, which he incorporates into his signature donabe clay pot-inspired pilaf (chef cooks his in a cast iron vessel) with shiso-flavored shibazuke pickles and chopped scallions." - Kat Odell
