The experience: Tasting-menu style sushi
In recent years, omakase sushi has become New York City’s ultimate splurge meal. And the most recognizable and noteworthy place remains Sushi Nakazawa. Opened in 2013 by chef Daisuke Nakazawa of the documentary, Jiro Dreams of Sushi, this tasting-menu experience serving twenty pieces of globally-sourced fish and seafood offers guests a prime seat at the chef’s counter to watch the magic unfold. One of the 10 seats there costs $180, and the dining room option is priced at $150.
By now, most know the story: Daisuke Nakazawa was an apprentice at Ginza’s micro sushiya Jiro, the subject of the cult status Netflix film on the beauty of sushi. In 2013, Nakazawa set up shop in NYC, and has since gone on to open counters in Washington D.C. and Aspen. Here in Greenwich Village, Sushi Nakazawa is serving both lunch and dinner. Patrons can pick from two counter experiences: the meal at the 10-seat main bar runs $180, while the six-seat lounge bar runs $150.
