## About Sushi Sho

Sushi Sho earned its third MICHELIN star at the November 2025 Northeast Cities ceremony, promoted from two, and became the first sushi restaurant in New York to reach the top rank since Masa. Chef Keiji Nakazawa works a twelve-seat hinoki counter blocks from the New York Public Library, aging his own tuna and cutting rice temperature by the piece rather than by the batch. The room does one thing — a single omakase, no menu, no substitutions — and does it with a rigor that reads as calm rather than tense. Nothing here is loud; the discipline is the point.

## Menu highlights

- **Omakase Counter Menu** $420 *20-to-24-piece nigiri progression, aged in-house, seatings timed to two hours*
- **Zuke Maguro (soy-cured lean tuna)** included *Cured six hours, warmed against the palm before serving*
- **Shari Tasting Flight** $85 supplement *Three rice temperatures paired against the same day's kohada*

1. ★★★★★ 5.0 Editorial sample Watched Nakazawa adjust the rice temperature between two pieces of the same fish and could taste the difference. This is craft with no wasted motion. — Daniel Petrov · 14 March 2026 Response from Sushi Sho Thank you, Daniel — precision is the whole point of the counter. We hope to see you again soon.
2. ★★★★★ 5.0 Editorial sample Twelve seats, total silence except the hinoki block. The tamago at the end nearly undid me — dense, barely sweet, warm. — Meredith Okafor · 2 February 2026

### How far in advance should I book Sushi Sho?

Reservations open 30 days out and the twelve-seat counter fills within hours, especially for Friday and Saturday seatings — book the moment the window opens.

### Is there a set menu, or can I request specific pieces?

The counter runs a single nightly omakase built around that day's fish; substitutions are not offered, though allergies are accommodated with advance notice.
