New York Shogun Omakase 🍣

Nigiri: 🍃 Overall, I really enjoyed it. Each piece of nigiri here is anything but ordinary or monotonous. Every bite feels like a pleasant surprise. The ingredients are absolutely fresh—sea urchin, scallops, and sweet shrimp are all incredibly sweet and fresh. 🎢 A few standout combinations include: sea urchin and sweet shrimp, a delightful blend of sweetness and creaminess. Black cod, after being torched, melts in your mouth and releases a burst of rich, savory flavors. 🍃 Tuna with black truffle, and large pieces of sea urchin hand rolls and eel with foie gras. The only minor drawback was that the sushi rice felt a bit sparse and the shape was too slender, making it look less plump. 🌊 The final course featured wagyu beef prepared three ways, each paired with sea urchin, foie gras, and caviar. The generous use of ingredients made it feel like a truly heartfelt experience. The traditional dessert, matcha tiramisu, was on par with what you’d find in mid-to-high-end dessert shops. 🍰 🌸Overall, it was a very happy and satisfying meal. The fresh ingredients and thoughtful seasoning easily surpassed most omakase experiences. The sushi chef even noticed we were celebrating a birthday and kindly gifted us a small bottle of sake. 🥂 📍 295 Madison Ave #101G, New York, NY 10017 #NewYork #Manhattan #Flushing #Midtown #JapaneseCuisine 🌟
