Sekai Omakase occupies a small counter at 96 W Houston St in Manhattan, with 12 seats and a single 10-course Edomae sushi menu priced at $150 per person. Chef Kazuki Tanaka trained at Sukiyabashi Jiro before opening this room, and the kitchen keeps the format tight: counter seating only, a fixed course count, and a 90-minute seating window.
A sake pairing is offered for an additional $30, and the menu is available in English, which makes the format accessible to first-time omakase diners as well as regulars. The dress code is smart casual. The restaurant is not currently Michelin-listed.
Reservations run through Resy, and booking is considered hard to secure, with a typical lead time of about one month. Given the 12-seat capacity, tables release and fill quickly, so diners aiming for a specific date should plan to book as soon as the window opens rather than waiting.
Sekai Omakase is open nightly for dinner service only, from 5 to 10 p.m., seven days a week; there is no lunch service. The restaurant accepts credit cards, not cash-only. For a two-person reservation, expect the base cost to run around $300 before the optional sake pairing, tax, and gratuity.
