A Midtown omakase room tuned for a modern, high-energy tasting arc—fast-moving courses, playful embellishments, and a ‘treat night’ feel without going fully austere. It lands best when you commit to the set menu and let the pacing carry you rather than trying to customize every turn.
Must-Try Dishes:
Omakase set, Hokkaido uni rice (when offered), Hand roll finale
What makes it special: Modern omakase pacing with crowd-pleasing course design.
