Here are 12 Japanese restaurants in New York City to go for excellent sushi omakases. Some of these places, but not all, offer good to great non-sushi items, while others just focus on the raw fish. Some mess with the nigiri, topping it with all sorts of fun ingredients, while others stick to a purist agenda. Most are pretty damn expensive, but a few offer surprisingly good bargains given the quality they provide. Now go get a seat at the bar.
