"Famed chef Toru Okuda has opened his first stateside restaurant, Okuda New York, in Manhattan. The restaurant offers a Japanese kaiseki multi-course menu with seasonal ingredients, seating only seven people with a private dining room for six. The space is designed to represent Japanese culture through minimal decor and traditional materials. Dishes will change often, reflecting the seasons, with ingredients sourced locally or from Japan. The restaurant is a non-tipping establishment, open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday." - Abbe Baker
