Restaurant[]

The restaurant was opened in 2003 taking the former location of Masa Takayama's restaurant Ginza Sushi-ko, after Takayama moved to New York and opened Masa in the Time Warner Center.

Urasawa has a daily changing 30-course omakase menu.[3]

In 2013, Urasawa was ordered to pay nearly $70,000 in penalties and unpaid wages.[4][5] In 2016, another lawsuit alleged unpaid overtime wages and unfair treatment of a former sous chef.[6][7]
