Sushi Nakazawa

The 32 Best Restaurants in New York City

"Daisuke Nakazawa—the apprentice from Jiro Dreams of Sushi—created the menu here, and in an ideal world, you’re sitting right at his counter. The man must daydream in texture and temperature, because whether mackerel, smoked skipjack, or shrimp are on his menu, they are seasoned lightly, brought to a very precise warmth, and served to transcendent effect. Reservations open two weeks prior to seatings, so book in advance: People who have heard the four-star raves are here, whether they have sushi cravings and have their saved their pennies or just have money to burn." - Emily Saladino, Devra Ferst
