Sugiyama is the place, if you want to try superb quality Japanese food including sushi & sashimi. It’s located at 251 W 55th St. (between Broadway & 8th Ave) New York, Tel.: (212) 956-0670 and open Tuesday through Saturday, 5:30 – 11:45pm. We have been 4 times over past few years and I’m looking forward for chance to go back again.

Usually we order 8 Course Modern Kaiseki ($128) and it’s one of the best, tastiest, unusual and most enjoyable meals. One of my favorite is a little fried crab that can be all eaten. The top dish is kobe beef (Kaiseki with Wagyu, $192) cooked on the hot red stones. You can get a seat at the counter and talk with the owner chef, Mr. Sugiyama, fantastic experience; real iron chef!

This is pricey but worth all of it!
