NYC’s Hidden Gem: Odo’s Michelin-Starred Kaiseki in Flatiron ⭐️
📍 Odo A serene escape in Flatiron, helmed by Michelin-starred chef Hiroki Odo. Enter through a discreet bar, then step into a tranquil dining room—like entering another world. 📝 Summer Kaiseki Lunch (June 17): 🥢 1. Sakizuke A glass bowl of summer seafood with shiso flowers and yuzu jelly—bright, fragrant, like a firework for your palate. 🥣 2. Owan Clear kombu dashi with tofu, corn shoots, and mountain greens. One sip = instant zen. 🌱 3. Hassun Showstopper alert! Grilled skewers + tempura on a leaf-adorned plate. Too pretty to eat (but you will). 🍜 4. Oshokuji • Chirashi: Vibrant sashimi + salmon roe + wasabi seaweed—umami explosion. • Soba: Handmade noodles with beef slices and shiso sprouts. Subtle, addictive. 🍨 5. Kanmi Homemade ice cream + crispy fried dough. Hot/cold contrast = weirdly perfect. 🍶 Sake Pairing: Skipped the wine, opted for a fruity, light sake—elevated every bite, especially the seafood starter. Summer in a sip! #NYCEats #Kaiseki #MichelinStar #OdoNYC #JapaneseCuisine #FoodieArt
