You had breakfast at Tiffany’s. Now, are you ready for omakase at Saks Fifth Avenue?
While waiting in the returns department on the luxury retailer’s downstairs jewelry floor last week, we wondered: what was the little, restaurant-like curved counter we saw through half-open curtains?
A chatty employee directed us to the new venue’s representatives, who shared that luxury fashion emporium Saks is launching a tiny, six-seat sushi spot, of all things.
Hoseki (“jewel” in Japanese) will serve a 12-course omakase menu.
The venue from Maxwell Weiss and chef Daniel Kim, who worked at Sushi Zo and was head chef at Sushi by Bou, is set to open on June 22.
“Continuing to push the boundaries of where sushi can be served, Weiss and Kim now provide an oasis for hungry shoppers,” we further learned from the reps.
Hoseki will offer a $95 omakase meal as well as a selection of a la carte hand rolls priced at $35, $40 and $70.
