From splash-out omakase to ramen and hotpot joints, a Nikkei correspondent reveals her tried and tested favourites for authentic Japanese cuisine.
The omakase menu starts at US$180. On the ground floor, the restaurant recently started offering a French-American menu featuring Japanese ingredients for four courses at US$89, or you can order a la carte.Over the past year or so, the average price of an omakase dinner in NYC has shot up from US$350 to about US$500. Needless to say, the hefty price tag doesn’t include sake and tips.
Instead, Kosaka and Juku have become my go-tos. Both offer good omakase under US$250 but in very different ways. Kosaka is an elegant restaurant with soft jazz music whose atmosphere resembles an upscale hotel lounge. While chef Yoshihiko Kousaka prepares classic sushi with a modern twist , waiting staff in dark suits meticulously clean and set the counter for you after each dish.Kosaka is the kind of spot you might visit to impress a potential business partner or a date.
If I feel a sudden urge to have raw fish during the day, I rush to MakiMaki for lunch. It’s three minutes away from Nikkei’s office in midtown Manhattan. A handroll sushi made with fresh ingredients costs from US$5 per piece.
