replying to u/Odd_Hunt4570: Visiting NYC for the first time first week of April. Which omakase spots would you recommend me? I’m staying near flatiron so anywhere in manhattan would be fine for me. I want to do a lunch one and then a dinner one the next day. Thinking nakazawa for lunch but no clue for dinner. Sho and Yoshino are booked out. Thanks in advance. Also, I tried seeing Schion and they have 0 availability, so when I saw ur comment it made sense.

replying to u/Jfish4391: Thank you, Ikumi does look very nice from their website. Have you also tried Amane? Wondering how they compare. I'd prefer a more traditional Edomae experience, is that what you get from Ikumi?
“But they do cure the pieces and that’s an edomae staple which is great.”
