Manhattan Omakase, Yakitori and Late Ramen
Japanese counters in Manhattan, from a 13-course seafood omakase with a sake club to late ramen and dim sum on Allen Street, a 14-seat yakitori counter over binchotan and a 14-course Edomae omakase in the Canal Arcade.


A 13-course seafood omakase is the main event at this relaxed spot at 44 Bowery, with cocktails, music and the Tokyo Sake Club speakeasy for private events. The lounge serves happy hour drinks, small bites, wagyu and eel, and staff remember returning guests. It is closed Tuesday, runs to 2 AM Monday and Wednesday to Saturday, and to 11 PM on Sunday.
