Twelve seats along the Upper East Side, with a chef who trained at Masa and Sushi Nakazawa before opening her own room. Sushi Akira runs an 18-course omakase at a price point that won't require a second mortgage, moving through chilled appetizers, nigiri, and dessert in a calm, unhurried sequence. The Michelin Guide has it listed. For a format that can tip toward ceremony, the atmosphere here stays quietly focused on the fish.
