The city’s most ambitious Japanese speakeasy is marked only by an open sign, but in-the-know eaters still find their way inside. The food, presented on beautiful handmade plates, is gorgeous: Maitake mushrooms are fried in the lightest tempura batter and delivered on a polished stone bed. Sushi (we tried the salmon) is pressed with a hot iron onto sticky vinegared rice. The fish is topped like a still life with its own microgreen forest. The few desserts—including an extra silky crème caramel—are just as ethereal as the savory food. Hurry in soon; word’s getting out.

This low key place in the East Village serves amazing traditional Japanese food. I put it in a different category of Japanese restaurants for a city that offers so many choices of sushi places. Atmosphere is nothing terrific, yet simple and elegant. But the food here is "ridiculicious" (definition: ridiculously + delicious!). I especially love their Uni dish and pressed sushi which is heavenly. Their special menu never disappoints me too. They offer seasonal fresh seafood from Japan. I ordered everything a la carte but they have a Kaiseki menu as well. The price point is high - but well worth it. You should go with a foodie friend or date - somebody who truly appreciates Japanese food. Guaranteed 5 hearts for food and sake!
