Trying to think of what special occasion I can come up with to justify a trip to Tanoshi… Labor Day? 1.5 month anniversary? Monday? 🤔🍣
📍Tanoshi, Upper East Side, NY 🗓April 18, 2017
Omakase. What a perfect meal. The chef chooses. You sample a huge variety of foods. Everything is fresh. Perfect - except the price. Tanoshi is famously one of the more reasonably priced omakase options in the city yet we still need a special occasion to justify going. Especially when we order off the regular menu and get some more items after the main course is done.
Tanoshi has two spaces which are separate from each other although they are also right next door to each other. You must RSVP in advance because they only seat about 20 people total, so they do 3 seatings a night. I have gone with a group of three (including me) and one lucky guy saw our crowd, asked what was going on, and filled in the extra one seat left by our group. It’s also BYOB so you can stop by a nearby liquor store and get some sake. I also highly recommend you make an evening of it and go to (with reservations) nearby Seamstress for pre- or post-dinner cocktails. This is the XXX roll - uni, roe, and quail egg. The textures (especially with the raw egg) are just as special as the flavors.
