There is more to Japanese cuisine than ramen and sushi. Yet when you survey the Japanese dining landscape in New York City, noodle soups and raw fish are nearly ubiquitous. Especially now, given the omakase sushi trend that is reaching new heights in popularity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But Japanese cuisine is really diverse. You can find stand-out yakitori restaurants that feel like you\u2019re in a temple dedicated to the holy chicken. There are izakayas – tavern-like eateries serving up Japanese drinking snacks to go along with sake, beer, and cocktails. There are Japanese steakhouses offering lusciously tender Wagyu. Some restaurants serve yoshoku cuisine, a type of western cuisine filtered through Japanese culture that evolved from the 19th century. And some of our favorites are tempura places, expertly frying meat and vegetables like it\u2019s nobody\u2019s business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
