MITANI New York, the latest venture from Tokyo's esteemed Sushi Mitani, is set to open on 15 May 2026 at the Lotte New York Palace on Madison Avenue. Known for its exceptional sushi and the distinctive Mitani Mariage—a curated pairing of premium champagne, wine, sake, and cold brew tea—Sushi Mitani aims to replicate its Tokyo success in Manhattan.
The New York establishment will feature an intimate setting with two separate rooms, each equipped with a six-seat counter. This limited seating arrangement ensures personalised attention for each guest, maintaining the exclusive experience that has made Sushi Mitani a sought-after destination in Japan.
The restaurant's design is inspired by Goshiki, the five sacred colours of white, yellow, purple, green, and red, rooted in the ancient Japanese philosophy of Inyō Gogyo. Each colour symbolises a direction, season, and meaning, creating a harmonious environment that reflects the natural cycle and the universe's balance.
Founder Yasuhiko Mitani emphasises the philosophy behind the Mitani Mariage, stating, "Life is finite; that is precisely why we deliver Mariage to foster connection." This approach highlights the collaborative nature of sushi, where the harmony between food and drink elevates the dining experience beyond imagination.
Reservations for MITANI New York are available on Tock, with seats expected to be highly competitive. For more information, visit their website at www.mitaniny.com
