NYC Kaiseki: Soto (Aug. 2012): Omakase
Author: Victor
Restaurant: Soto
Chef: Sotohiro Kosugi
Date: August 14, 2012
Notes:
-There are 17 non-sushi courses and 9 pieces of sushi (nigiri).
-I shall nickname this meal the “Uni Assault”. We had SO MUCH UNI. I guess it’s kind of my fault—in the beginning, the waitress asked me how much we liked uni, and I answered with, “We love it!” And… yeah. The pictures show how much uni we ended up getting.
-Chef Sotohiro has a HUGE temper hahahaha. We saw some J-raging going on today; there was one time where he raged LOUDLY and the entire restaurant just turned quiet. Apparently an employee messed up on something. He was pissssssed.

The star of this meal was the foie gras soup dumpling. If you only have time to see one dish in this post, jump to that one. WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW AMAZING IT WAS.
The restaurant is relatively small for a fine-dining restaurant; we sat at the far wall, and here’s a view of pretty much the entire restaurant. The entrance to the kitchen is in the left corner.
