New York | Why Doesn't Secchu Yokota Have a Michelin Star? 🌟

🎨I’m not a food connoisseur by any means, but even I could tell that the tempura Omakase here is pretty close to a Michelin one-star experience I had in Japan. The flavors were rich, and the presentation was beautiful. Plus, the cozy atmosphere of this family-owned shop is really relaxing for someone who doesn’t know how to appreciate fancy meals. It feels like a hidden gem where you can enjoy a delicious meal without any pretense. 🌿 🍣 The chef is very calm and quiet, exuding a sense of professionalism and focus. In contrast, the service uncle is super enthusiastic and funny. He even showed us a comic he drew for his cousin. His drawing skills were so impressive that we wondered if working here is just a side job for him. 🎨 🎨 One standout dish was the tempura shrimp, which was arranged in the shape of a dragon. It was not only visually stunning but also incredibly delicious. 🍣 The shrimp was perfectly fried, with a crispy exterior and a tender, juicy interior. It was such a unique and memorable dish that it almost felt like a work of art. 🦕 #NYCFood #JapaneseCuisine #Omakase 🌟
