INSIDE CANAL ARCADE
NAKAJI is tucked inside CANAL ARCADE at 48 BOWERY. Third-generation sushi chef Kunihide “Nakaji” Nakajima leads an intimate Edomae-style sushi experience here. The address contains two distinct offerings: the chef’s counter and BAR AT NAKAJI.
THE COUNTER AND THE BAR
At the ten-seat counter, omakase places the sequence in the chef’s hands. It is a meal to give time to, with sushi prepared and served across the counter. The separate bar focuses on Japanese whiskies, seasonal cocktails and a bar-food menu. Decide which experience you want before booking.
PLAN AHEAD
The restaurant asks guests to allow around two and a half hours for the counter experience and arrive on time. Review the current menu, cancellation terms and dietary restrictions directly before reserving. The entrance is in the arcade, so allow a little time to find it rather than looking only for a conventional street-facing dining room.
