NYC Omakase π£
πThe sushi part can be described as a series of nods and claps from me. Each piece is so well-made, with fresh ingredients and perfect seasoning. And the chef really gives generous portions! Each dish left a lasting aftertaste. π£ π΅The dessert part wasn't particularly outstanding, but it won me over with the surprise of another dish just when I thought it was over, haha. There was tamagoyaki (Japanese omelette), truffle chocolate, hot and cold green tea, and a chocolate lava cake with matcha ice cream. πThe experience was great and the value for money was high, but I can understand why it lost a star. I think Kanoyama was initially positioned as a regular Japanese restaurant. The decoration and the utensils in the regular seats are too down-to-earth. This might also explain why the omakase bar seating doesn't allow you to see the chef's preparation process, which is a big part of the fun. πΊ The omakase area is an open space with regular tables right behind, making it a bit noisy and not very private. Also, if they offer both regular menu and omakase, it's easy to get overwhelmed, which can make customers feel like the service is lacking. π Since it was a Valentine's Day special menu, time was tight. After we finished the tamagoyaki, all the guests in our round were moved to the regular tables behind to finish the desserts, to make room for the next group. πΊ But for a $200 per person omakase in NYC, to get over 20 pieces like this is already very satisfying. π #NYCfoodie #omakase #NYCrestaurant #NYComakase ππ
