Knives
There’s nothing like a good-quality sharp knife in the kitchen. The GF gifted me with a Nenox Western-style knife (this one) a few years ago from Korin, the store referenced in this video. If you’re ever in Manhattan, you should pay a visit – nearly every sushi chef in the city uses Korin knives and brings them in regularly for sharpening by the master sharpener.
Sushi Zen is good, but you-know-who says Yasuda is the best higher-end place. Median priced sushi favorites include Ushiwakamaru and Blue Ribbon (where we had our first date).
