Yes, it is the best sushi restaurant in the city, and yes, chef Mitsuhiro Kaji presides five nights a week over what is, by all accounts, still called a sushi counter. The cooked food here, prepared by long-time Kaji sous Takeshi Okada, has developed an incredible grace and kaiseki-like complexity in recent years; visiting just for the sushi would be sort of like travelling to Burgundy without ever tasting the wine. The seasonal seven- and nine-course menus ($100 and $120; there is no à la carte) provide a perfect mix. Dinner might open with a dish of house asparagus tofu that’s as fresh and ephemeral as dew, saddled with a perfect tender-crisp asparagus spear, followed closely by a poached fiddlehead wrapped in a cloud of lighter, whiter tofu. All of this is interspersed with sushi and sashimi.
