Description

Since 1963, this restaurant has served as a gateway to authentic Edo-style Japanese cuisine in New York. While respected for its classic heritage, the kitchen is also a space for innovation; it pioneered the soba salad and created beef negimayaki by rolling scallions in prime beef. Today, the menu balances its traditional roots with occasional fusion experiments, such as agedashi-style mozzarella.
