Honzen

The entrance feels like a typical Queens spot with a sushi bar and a few tables, but the space opens up further back. The kitchen prepares Honzen Ryori, a Muromachi-period dining tradition designed around balancing savory, sweet, bitter, and sour tastes. The menu highlights high-end ingredients, featuring sake, ponzu wine, and the U & I Don with A5 Wagyu and uni. While the culinary style is historically formal, the service remains deeply personal, occasionally managed by a single host.
