New York Upper East Side | Sushi Akira 🍣

I went to this highly recommended omakase place a while ago but have been procrastinating on posting about it. 🍣 Overall, the quality of the ingredients is good, and you can see that the chef has his own creative touch. However, I personally feel that some dishes could benefit from more time to refine. There's still room for improvement in terms of texture and the use of ingredients (for example, the 🦑steamed egg with scallion on top – I don't think these ingredients complement each other well). 🍣 Many dishes had various flowers🌼as toppings. While this looks great in photos, my friend and I both removed the flowers before eating, as they affected the texture and overall flavor. We gave feedback to the 🧑‍🍳chefs on the spot, and they were very open to suggestions from their guests. I hope they continue to improve! It's definitely worth a visit.🌟 Recently, while browsing online,I often see people referring to sushi made by Chinese chefs as "not omakase." 🍣I never believe that Japanese chefs are necessarily better than Chinese chefs. Many Chinese chefs make delicious sushi with their own unique styles. There's no need to discredit a restaurant based on the nationality of the chef. 🌟 After all, the true judge of good food should be your taste buds. #omakase #JapaneseCuisine #Sushi 🌇🌟
