high-end kosher omakase for $95-130 in brooklyn, NYC! such a great way to open up the omakase doors to those who have kosher needs. i visited to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday, and we had so many yummy and unique courses!
they are located in south brooklyn (which was a bit of a trek for us coming from jersey city). worth tho. each piece was carefully crafted by sushi master chef jerry (we were chatting and learned that he had been serving omakase for 20+ years) and so delicious! they serve a 10 course omakase for $95, and a 15 course omakase for $130. they also have some a la carte options for you to just order high quality sushi/rolls/entrees on.
i genuinely really liked the unique combos that akimori used for their courses! some of my favorite pieces were the king salmon with torched shiitake mushrooms, fatty tuna with black truffle paste, and crispy rice with toro and caviar. that appetizer was elite and you should all try it if you go. also i'd never seen an omakase place use torched shiitake mushrooms before, but it really blew my mind how the umami mushroom flavor added so much to the fish. definitely a new favorite of mine!
we ended the omakase meal with the "jerry" specialty sushi roll (which we learned was created by our sushi chef) and some mango and caramel mochi ice cream. tbh i didn't really think the "jerry" specialty roll was worth it but we were also probably too full at the end to have appreciated it as much as we wanted to. wasn't expecting to get that full from omakase (you know how it goes) but the many courses they have really fill you up. read more
