un tesoro escondido

'me encanta, uno de mis favoritos'

en el sótamo de un edificio de oficinas, casi imposible de encontrar, está esta joya absoluta, un sitio donde comí la mejor comida japonesa que recuerdo, y según varios japoneses, es como estar en un gran restaurante de tokio.
Me acuerdo bien de una especie de galleta hecha de chanquetes de sardina fritas absolutamente memorable.

Lo mejor es dejarse llevar por las recomendaciones que se vean, porque en la carta no encontré ni un plato de los que uno encuentra en España; ni sushis, ni casi sashimis, ni teriyakis ni nada, todo desconocido y delicioso.

Por supuestio, lleno de japos y conocedores de verdad.

Lo recomiendo ABSOLUTAMENTE

y mirando en internet, new york times, le puntuan un 9,3 y dicen esto (ya lo decía yo....):

"Wander through the subterranean guts of an office high-rise and enter an expansive and tranquil room filled with screens, plants and smooth blond woodwork. Although the booths are reserved for diners (mostly sedate Midtown suits and their clients), the elevated bar is inviting enough for an after-work drink. A color-coded, cross-referenced menu offers an imposing selection of more than 200 sakes, along with some well-intentioned hints about which foods they go best with. You'll need a degree in comparative cryptography to make much sense of it, but, fortunately, the staff can guide you just as expertly. — Andrew Yamato"
"I lived in Tokyo for 3 years and was thrilled by this place, its food, the atmosphere and the sake list. It really reminds me of Japan and there is no compromise to Western tastes. The proportion of Japanese customers proves it. "
"Having taken Japanese cooking classes and been exposed to remarkable japanese resaurants around the world, I was pleased to discover this gem. Nothing I ate was like any other japanese food I had enjoyed before. The restaurant specializes in japanese tapas-like dishes to be matched with a tremendous assortment of sake. The 4 seaweed Kaiso Salad, the marinated whitefish (Shiroi Nanban), the wonderful tuna tartar topped with a layer of two types of fish roe (Maguro Tartare), and the simple Udon noodles were all worthy of appreciation. The Taiheizan Kimoto (cold) sake was an excellent accompaniment . The service was attentive and professional. All round an excellent experience."

parece una alternativa barata a los gigantescos precios de new york
lo compruebo en octubre!

New York Daily News: A European hotel chain known for its itty-bitty rooms hopes to make a big splash this summer when it opens its first U.S. location west of Times Square.

Called Yotel, the futuristic 669-room hotel on 10th Ave. and 42nd St. offers "everything you might find in a luxury hotel in under 200 square feet," executives say.

"I wanted Yotel to use innovative radical design to create a mixture of luxury, fun, comfort and excitement at an affordable price," Yotel CEO Gerard Greene said in a statement Thursday.

Rooms - which the chain calls "cabins" - start at $149 a night for two adults. At 167 square feet, the low-end "Premium Cabin" offers a retractable queen-sized bed, cramped walk-in shower and mini-workstation.

Premium Cabins with a bunk bed over the queen will cost $179. That's a pint-sized price, considering most hotel rooms in the tourist-heavy area go for more than $200.

Yotel's three locations in London and Amsterdam feature even smaller rooms, which can be booked for as little as four hours at a time. All three are attached to major airports. At London Heathrow Airport, $145 buys 24 hours in a 75-square foot cabin with a single bunk bed and small shower.

Yotel in Times Square will include a restaurant designed like a Japanese sumo-wrestling platform with long, shared tables and a giant outdoor terrace with fire places, cabanas and two bars.

The compact quarters fill 27 floors of a new building on 42nd St. between Ninth and 10th Aves. called Middle of Manhattan - MiMA for short. The building includes 500 apartments, 151 condos and several theaters.

Tourists wandering Times Square had some reservations on Thursday about booking a room at Yotel.

"As a tourist, if it's convenient, clean and safe, definitely it would be a good deal," said Leo Yal, 32, a vacationer from Shanghai. "As a business traveler, it's not a good deal. My company pays for bigger hotels."

Christopher Meirelles, 24, a model who lives in Brazil, wondered whether the rooms were a bargain. "It sounds very practical, but I don't think the price is cheap enough for such a small room," Meirelles said. "It doesn't sound like a good deal, and I wouldn't stay there."

But Sue Rider, 65, of Wisconsin, sized up the price and gave a thumbs up. "You don't come to New York to stay in your hotel," she said. "All you need is a place to sleep and take a shower. I'm looking for cheap, so I would stay there."
