replying to u/carefullywasnt: Going to Muku in a few days, it was really hard to decide between Muku and Yamada. What makes you say Yamada as the best of the 3?
“With muku it felt like some of the dishes were similar in taste. A lot of ginger usage. 4 of the 9 dishes were liquid base.”

“Tldr; Overall a pretty solid kaiseki. I think it’s on par with odo but both are below yamada.”

replying to u/everclear_handle: I haven't heard much about Yamada since it opened so I am surprised it got 4 stars so quickly. Has anyone tried this place yet? Also, I'm not that big of a fan of this review style, I'd much rather prefer they do what the infatuation does than throw four adjective laden paragraphs about eels at me
“Recent openings like Muku and Jo are way more impressive, in both technique and taste.”

replying to u/Hnyyum: Recent openings like Muku and Jo are way more impressive, in both technique and taste. Yamada has a more photogenic style that will impress diners who aren’t necessarily looking for true flavors but the whole “experience”, which is why this review has cemented my view of Ligaya’s level of taste.
“i also liked muku more than yamada”

replying to u/OBAFGKM17: I was a big fan of Kaiseki Room by Yamada and was bummed when it closed so was psyched to try Yamada soon after it opened and it was a totally different level, one of the best meals and overall experiences I've ever had. It should absolutely get 2 stars, if not 3.
“You should try Muku...on a whole other level”

replying to u/ourannual: Thoughts on how it compares to other NYC kaiseki (Muku, Jo, Yamada) if you've been?
“For me it was: 1. Yamada (insert big gap here) 2. Odo, 3. Muku”
