The story behind the bowl
Chef Shigetoshi Nakamura became known in Japan before opening this compact Lower East Side shop. The bowls combine technical Japanese foundations with the freedom of an independent New York counter.
Before you go: The room is small; check the current service window and expect a wait at peak times.
