The Best Omakase in Greenwich Village: Sushi Chef with Daisuke Nakazawa

Ойын-сауық

Daisuke Nakazawa is the co-owner and sushi chef at Nakazawa in Greenwich Village, New York, one of the city’s most renowned destinations for omakase. He serves a style of sushi inspired by his adopted hometown, taking the skills he learned during his his 11-year-apprenticeship at Sukibayashi Jiro - of Jiro Dreams of Sushi fame - and applying them to ingredients and flavor profiles that would ruffle feathers at home in Tokyo. Always rigorous, but never a purist, Nakazawa’s drive to become number one is helped by his refusal to be bound by dogma.

    Well by Japanese edomaezushi standards, nakazawa is really experimenting. Though there's a fine line between experimenting and taking the piss. Lettuce on rice certainly is something... but I don't think it's sushi.

    I would much rather eat at this gentleman's sushi restaurant than Jiro's... Sure, Jiro is an absolute master at his craft, but the atmosphere he radiates is... Intimidating. On the other hand, this guy has a great personality, warm and friendly, easy laughs. Plus his sushi is likely also outstanding. I'd much rather prefer a sushi master I can talk to and laugh with than one who stands there silently with an air of deep seriousness. That, and since I wouldn't know how to eat all the dishes properly, I'd want to ask, and I get the feeling Nakazawa would be much more accommodating than Jiro. I could be wrong, but that's just my thoughts from what I've seen.

There were business people just chatting around me at the sushi bar popping the little perfect morsels in their mouths without noticing. I couldn't believe it. Each one was presented with care so perfectly, warmed by the chef's hand, perfect rice, and seasoned already. Gorgeous. The next time I visit New York I will try Nakazawa.
