Sasabune

At this small Upper East Side omakase-only restaurant, diners are greeted by a sign that reads: Today's Special — Trust Me. The small establishment only seats about 30 people at both the bamboo sushi bar and wooden tables. With chef Kenji Takahashi’s daily changing omakase (or chef's tasting) menu, diners are served small plate after small plate of raw fish that can include such delicacies as sea urchin, monkfish liver, black salmon, and iced Toro. Each dish is presented with an explanation of what it is and how to best eat it.
