    Something really interesting happens to almost everyone that works in the restaurant industry and is obsessed with food and wine … you start your career obsessed with the most complicated, cool, interesting and exciting dishes as well as natty, funky, biodynamic wines and eventually your tastes in food and wine become simpler and simpler… going back to the classics, until you find that you love burgundy and old world, classic dishes that have stood the test of time… then even simpler until you are just obsessed with Japanese technique and two or three elements on a plate…. It’s literally just a natural, strange progression. Anyway, I love these episodes!

    The process of uprooting oneself from their home, country, culture, people and settling in a foreign land far away is one of the most traumatic and difficult experiences in life. That there are so many Japanese chefs who do this routinely says a lot about the Japanese people as well as America. Credit to the Japanese people, for having such a high-level work ethic in spite of the aforementioned trauma, and to America for being so welcoming and encouraging to people of different cultures and countries.

Chef Kazu is an itamae, a master sushi chef. But more than that, he is warm, welcoming, humble and informative. This was the best omakase experience that I have ever had in the States, and I would recommend Icca without hesitation. Domou arigatou gozaimashita, Chef Kazu.

    Looks interesting but $400 for omakase plus unbelievably, $8 more is charged to use their chosen reservation portal, Tock where Resy or Opentable are free for the customer to use. New York has loads of really high end omakase places. For $400, you'd better have at least 1 Michelin star. I know he's new so a year or two down the road, we'll see if he gets one. For now, the menu feels just too esoteric IMO.
