Kurumazushi

Kurumazushi, which opened in Manhattan in 1977, has been serving some of the freshest and most delectable sushi in the world to both New Yorkers and foreign customers for over 40 years.

Though sushi and sashimi have grown in popularity since then, and sushi restaurants can now be found on nearly every other block in the city, none can give you the same tastes and textures that you'll find in the hands of Toshihiro Uezu, its founder and head chef. Kurumazushi serves some of the best sushi and sashimi in the city, including a sushi bar and two private tatami rooms. Start with usuzukuri, or fatty tuna with scallion tartare, or usuzukuri, or fluke with ponzu sauce. Sit at the sushi bar and order omakase for a truly authentic and memorable experience. The meal draws to a close with a bowl of ice cream. Sake is served in delicate gold-flecked glasses, and the alcohol content is low.
