The selection of Japanese restaurants in the city is a wide one. In fact, many Japanese restaurants caught the attention of the MICHELIN Guide last year. The chef at one of these restaurants is now venturing further into the culinary space, with plans to open five new establishments in The 6ix this year. Any guesses on who I’m talking about? Here’s a hint: The restaurant is in Yorkville.
