Shh Omakase occupies a 12-seat counter at 113 Division St on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Chef Toshiro Kato, trained at Tsuji Culinary School, leads the modern sushi omakase, with English-friendly service throughout the meal.
The fixed menu runs $175 per person, with an optional sake pairing for an additional $35. Seating is counter-only, and each seating runs about 120 minutes. Dress code is smart casual, and the restaurant is not cash-only, so cards are accepted.
Reservations go through OpenTable, and the venue recommends booking about two weeks ahead. The restaurant is open nightly from 5pm to 10pm, seven days a week except Monday, when it is closed. It is not currently Michelin-listed. Difficulty in securing a seat is rated moderate, reflecting demand for the 12-seat room rather than any unusual booking process.
The restaurant describes its approach as working across a wide range of seafood, including items like octopus and sea urchin, prepared in a modern style rather than strictly traditional Edomae presentation. Given the small seat count, walk-ins are unlikely to be accommodated reliably, and advance booking through OpenTable is the practical path to securing a spot at the counter.
