Japanese in NYC

I not only grew up between heavily Japanese-influenced Taiwan and Hawaii, but also used to live in Japan. So it’s not surprising that Japanese is the type of cuisine I eat most. Japanese cuisine in New York is consistently one of the highest quality ethnic foods, and it has become so sophisticated that I can actually satiate my specific cravings at the many specialty Japanese restaurants that have cropped up over the years. So here’s a quick run-down of my favorites by specialty.
