Brushstrokes @ Ichimura
I ordered the set lunch because it seemed very value for money and included dessert!
Appetizer
(From left) ikura, truffle, tomato
Truffle chawanmushi (simply sublime)
Miso fish and octopus
The octopus was insanely good, it was crisp for the tentacles but you could tell that the body of the octopus had been properly massaged with marinade as it had this melt-in-the-mouth texture only known to me from toro.
Hoji-cha pudding with gold flakes (deep roasted flavor with a caramel aftertaste)
Definitely go for the lunch set, was one of the most value-for-money Michelin star meals I had this year. Service was impeccable and they also asked about dietary restrictions, asked me when I didn't finish a particular dish and also were attentive to my particular likes. This restaurant is better known for its sushi counter, which is intimate and requires advanced reservation but kaiseki / alacarte dining place should definitely be visited if you're visiting NYC!
