Because this old sushi-ya still stands as one of the city’s preeminent sushi destinations. Sushi Yasuda entered the dining scene in 1999, and its reputation has only soared since. Amid a serene space clad in honeyed bamboo, the chefs at Sushi Yasuda prepare a classic omakase for the books, favoring tradition instead of trends, and shaping a crescendo in texture, flavor, and taste that’ll leave your taste buds singing. In one word: iconic, and for good reason.
