Occupying a prized corner location in the heart of East Village since 2010, Chef Nobuyuki Shikanai’s restaurant is a verified veteran of the city’s sushi scene. There are two dining rooms: One is bright with ample table seating where guests order the likes of tempura, sushi rolls and nigiri à la carte, while the other is an intimate counter for a serious, pricey omakase offered on select days of the week. Sake aficionados will be impressed by the list, and diners are even invited to select their own cup from an assortment of options.
