Kura

Kura is a quiet, unpretentious place. It hasn't gotten much attention and is located on Manhattan's lower east side. The restaurant isn't marked on the outside, and it only seats 30 people at a time inside.

The seafood selection, which includes uni, kanpachi, and sweet shrimp, is outstanding and includes only the freshest fish of the day. Supplies are coming in from all over the world, particularly in Japan and New York. Sea scallops from Hokkaido and a variety of tuna, including the succulently fatty otoro and chutoro, may be found. The presentation is as good as the food, and you should hear Ishizuka's advice and order the omakase menu created by him — he knows what you should be eating. For $100, you get a 12-piece tasting menu, which is a fairly good deal for omakase in Manhattan. The cream puff mini-dessert served on a spoon is a sweet souvenir if you have room. The dinner is complemented with a great selection of sakés.
