Who could have imagined that this restaurant could survive the departure of Naomichi Yasuda, who not only lent the restaurant his name but lorded over its sushi counter like a shepherd guarding his flock. Fortunately, Mitsuru Tamura, Yasuda’s protégé for the seven years before he departed, is delivering the same beautiful cuts of fish that this restaurant has built its reputation on. The best way to enjoy the experience is to sit at the counter in front of Tamura and order various flights of fish, like five different types of salmon or seven different cuts of tuna. Beloved by our reviewers, this is by far the most popular Japanese restaurant in our survey, attracting comments like “I could eat this every day for the rest of my life.”
