About
Kanoyama has operated at 175 Second Avenue since 2000 and has built one of the most consistent sushi reputations in the East Village. The kitchen sources fish with care, and the daily specials board often lists unusual seasonal cuts not found at more generic sushi bars. Omakase is available at the counter, and the sake list is carefully chosen.
Neighborhood & visiting
Kanoyama sits in East Village, one of New York's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Reservations are available online — for a focused sushi counter this is strongly recommended. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional sushi restaurants often close between service periods.
