About
Hasaki opened in 1984 and has endured for over four decades as one of New York City's most respected Japanese restaurants, a cornerstone of the East Village's once-thriving Japantown cluster. The restaurant serves traditional Edomae-style sushi using fresh local fish and seafood imported from Japan, presented with quiet precision and without unnecessary flourish. Head sushi chef Naoto — described by regulars as a son of a Michelin-starred sushi chef — presides over a 12-piece counter omakase at $96 per person, available exclusively at the sushi bar. The main dining room offers an extensive à la carte menu of sushi, sashimi, cooked Japanese dishes, grilled fish, tempura, and bento boxes, alongside a seasonal outdoor Zen Garden. Hasaki is valued for consistency and authenticity in equal measure.
