Sushi Yasuda - New York, NY

As in traditional Japan, where restaurants specialize in one kind of cuisine or another, Sushi Yasuda is a sushi place — not a catch-all, tempura-yakitori-sushi-soba-sukiyaki-kaiseki "Japanese" restaurant.

There is no music piped into Sushi Yasuda. The lighting, which is brighter than one might expect, is designed to provide visual clarity on the sushi — both its preparation and presentation (as is customary).

Bonded by the love of classical sushi, Sushi Yasuda is devoted to maintaining the purity of this vision at all costs.
