New York: 15 East – Japanese Restaurant

 

New York: 15 East – Japanese Restaurant. I certainly would go back to 15 East the Michelin star Japanese restaurant just off Union Square.  The food is exceptional, delicious and very fresh.  Before your very eyes executive Sushi chef Masato Shimizu prepares for his customers Japanese cuisine with a modern perspective. His creativity is based on tradition and masterful technique, his virtuoso skills honoring the freshest seasonal ingredients bought round the corner at the Union Square Green Market. Extremely personable and a natural educator, Masato enjoys teaching customers about the fish he serves.
