No photographs allowed at this omakase counter near the New York Public Library, which might be the point: chef Keiji Nakazawa's progression demands your full attention. He adjusts the rice's vinegar ratio for each piece of fish, ages and cures in the Edomae tradition, and makes cuts so precise a single slice becomes a composition. The hinoki counter faces towering ice boxes with carved wood doors. Three Michelin stars.
