The Man Behind the Vision: Chef Yuu Shimano
Chef Yuu Shimano’s journey is one of passion and precision. Trained at Japan’s Tsuji Culinary Institute, he honed his craft in France, working in renowned Michelin-starred kitchens before bringing his expertise to New York.

A Sneak Peek at The 8-Course Tasting Menu
The evening’s eight-course tasting menu will be a carefully curated moment, with each dish telling a story of craftsmanship and flavor harmony. Two standout dishes include:
- Shirako – A luxurious preparation of cod roe meunière, enhanced with Dassai sake lees, almond milk, and yuzu pepper. The creamy texture of the shirako, balanced by the citrusy kick of yuzu, creates a beautifully nuanced bite.
- King Crab with Petrossian Caviar – This dish pairs succulent king crab with a celery root salad and green apples, dressed in coconut milk mayonnaise, grated onion, and ginger, then topped with a generous serving of Petrossian caviar for an impeccably salty-sweet contrast.
Each course will be paired with Dassai Blue Sake, carefully selected to complement and elevate the flavors of the dishes.
