Had a free night here in NY, so went to Shuko...restaurant that's been on my list.
I had the keiseke. yolo.

Dishes weren't the same, of course. It's not really a place to pull out your phone every minute for the gram, so I just grabbed a couple of snaps.
The front door is hilarious. It's on a side street in Manhattan, and I walked by the damn place 3 times before I realized there was no sign. Just a door with a small "47" on it for the address. Fucking awesome.

One of the early courses was Toro with caviar. Amazeballs.
88472
Some sort of japanese pumpkin roasted thing.

Their aburi toro is done by laying a piece of Binchotan onto the tuna. One of the single best morsels of food I've ever had.

dashi was amazing.

There were a bunch of other courses which I didn't snap cause I hate it when people pull out phones in these types of restaurants. The space is quite small, and there were about 25 servers for the 13 seats, not including kitchen staff. You get your own sushi chef basically, depending on when you start your meal, and then the usual mixologist, som, a manager person, people busing your every dish and movement, and a server.
The cocktail I had at the beginning was 10/10, and worth every penny.
Highly recommended 5/5. If you're in NY, it's worth checking out.
