Shinzo Omakase, on E 2nd St in Manhattan's Lower East Side, runs a single tasting menu: 13 pieces of nigiri sushi selected daily by chef Shinzo based on what arrives fresh from Japan and other sources that day. The counter format puts diners close to the chefs as they cut, torch, and plate each piece within a fixed 60-minute seating.
The omakase is priced at $69 per person, with sake pairing available and an English-language menu. Additional pieces can be ordered à la carte from a chef's special menu beyond the set course. The restaurant holds a beer and wine license and pours sake on premise, but also permits BYOB with no corkage fee — hard liquor is not allowed.
Seatings run in five daily slots, roughly 2–4pm and then hourly from 5pm to 9pm, seven days a week. Dress code is smart casual. Reservations go through Resy, and the format is rated easy to book relative to other counter-only omakases in the city.
At this price point among Manhattan sushi counters, Shinzo positions itself as an accessible entry into the omakase format rather than a high-end tasting menu, with a straightforward single-course structure and no upsell pressure beyond optional à la carte additions.
