Diners can see how a traditional kaiseki tasting menu would unfold in the menu design, yet they can choose from sections and order a la carte. The restaurant\u2019s pedigree shows in the impressive technique on display, the wide-ranging playlist, and the faint hint of incense (details!). The staff moves like they\u2019re born knowing points of service, seamlessly toggling between their Japanese and English-speaking customers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">Turn your attention to the cocktails, like Diyame ($16), where Japanese shochu is the heart of a highball number laced with kumquats (and ice that seemingly never melts for the entirety of a meal). Or kick off a visit with a Champagne pour (La Caravelle, $25) or a Japanese whisky.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">Though it\u2019s early days, it feels like the sweet spot for a visit is after 9 or 10 p.m., with dishes served until midnight. Also, lots of the accoutrements from your meal are for sale via <a href=\"https:\/\/odohome.us\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Odo at Home<\/a>, including chopsticks, glassware, salt, vinegars, dashi, and ceramics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Odo East Village, the casual sibling to Hiroki Odo\u2019s Flatiron two-Michelin-starred namesake, has the swagger of a Japanese&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":143094,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,17863,9,24,63],"class_list":{"0":"post-143093","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brooklyn","8":"tag-brooklyn","9":"tag-brooklyn-headlines","10":"tag-brooklyn-news","11":"tag-dining-reports","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-city","14":"tag-nyc"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143093"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143093\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
