Aoi Kaze Sushi - New York

Quiet mastery in the heart of New York

New York doesn’t need spectacle. It recognises craft when it sees it.

At Aoi Kaze Sushi, everything unnecessary is stripped away — leaving only balance, restraint, and precision. This is sushi as it should be: deliberate, seasonal, and grounded in respect for the ingredient.

The experience begins at the counter. Polished wood. Soft light. The steady rhythm of a chef at work.

There is no rush here. No distraction. Just the sound of a blade meeting fish, and rice being shaped by hand.

Our seafood is sourced daily from Japan and the finest markets in New York, selected not for rarity, but for condition — texture, fat content, and clarity of flavour.

Expect:

• Otoro that dissolves at body temperature

• Chutoro balanced between richness and structure

• Hirame and tai, clean and mineral

• Uni, briny, sweet, and unmasked

• Seasonal specials, served only when they meet our standards

Nothing is served because it is fashionable. Everything is served because it is ready.

Sushi lives or dies by its rice.

Our Sumeshi is seasoned with restraint — warm, gently acidic, and tuned to the fish it carries. Each piece is formed moments before it reaches you, intended to be eaten immediately, in one bite.

No soy is needed unless you choose it. No embellishment unless it earns its place.

Omakase, Reconsidered

Omakase at Aoi Kaze is a conversation without words. The chef reads the room, the season, the pace. Courses arrive when they should — not when a script demands it.

This is trust, quietly honoured.
