Mitsuru<\/a>, from Sushi Yasuda\u2019s Mitsuru Tamura and natural wine vet Grant Reynolds of Parcelle<\/a>, is really two spaces in one. This is Tamura\u2019s first spot since he was handpicked<\/a> to replace one of the biggest sushi names, offering a chance to see his technique up close at the eight-seat omakase that he runs solo. The other half feels like the sitting room of an eclectic Greenwich Village home, with exposed brick walls, low-slung couches, and shelving as space dividers.<\/p>\n

The omakase is traditional with hints of whimsy. You\u2019ll get a warm towel as you sit down, as well as finger wipes (it\u2019s a sign of respect to eat sushi with your fingers). There\u2019s a bit of cheekiness in the decor: mismatched dishware and cute candy-shaped chopstick rests. This visit, the crowd skewed young in the dining room, with plenty of age diversity at the counter.<\/p>\n

While I was happy to have a chair with a back and armrests, the chair height at the sushi counter felt more suited to a regular table. My taller dining partner, however, wasn\u2019t bothered.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t snag one of the omakase seats (or are dining with people who prefer more variety), there\u2019s a five-piece Mitsuru\u2019s choice on the a la carte menu ($44). Cross your fingers for the fatty sea perch or citrus-flecked giant clam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mitsuru, from Sushi Yasuda\u2019s Mitsuru Tamura and natural wine vet Grant Reynolds of Parcelle, is really two spaces…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36024,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[17863,9,56,63,65,64],"class_list":["post-36023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-dining-reports","tag-new-york","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-headlines","tag-nyc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36023","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=36023"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36023\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
