There it is! On a street corner of Soho, with a sign hanging ablaze under a fire escape. It says\u00a0<strong>Omen<\/strong>, and it's one of the city's best\u00a0<strong>Japanese restaurant. And trust us, it's a\u00a0good one.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>You have arrived at a place where New Yorkers go to be transported to the kitchens of Kyoto without ever leaving their beloved island, and also while remaining up-to-date with contemporary movements\u00a0like health consciousness (to New York it\u2019s contemporary).<\/p>\n<p>So <strong>the red flag<\/strong> is raised, and its door opens into a spacious walk-in closet--sorry--an intimate but confined space so typical to the saturated city. It\u2019s nice to find a seat in the back--not for discretion per se, but to avoid the draft, as the door frequently swings open on busy Saturday nights.<\/p>\n<p>With each <em>Konnichiwa<\/em>\u00a0(Good day) remember to give a friendly <em>Ossu <\/em>(Hi), and relax, you\u2019re still in New York. Celebrated for its authenticity, we particularly love it for its wonderful service and homemade udon noodles, known to be <strong>the best in the city<\/strong> and forecasted to replace the ramen fad. Leave it to the open-mindedness of New Yorkers and the expertise of <strong>Chef Norio Shinohara<\/strong>\u00a0to cultivate the next gastronomic trend.<\/p>\n<p>Some call his petite plates, which masterfully coordinate bright colors, works of art, but you should refer to it as <em>din\u0101<\/em>\u00a0(aka dinner): a combination of <strong>quail eggs marinated in miso<\/strong>, salmon carved into lovely roses (we couldn\u2019t have made that up) and of course the basics, <strong>sushi and sashimi<\/strong>. To match the salty with sweet, all fall head over heels for the strawberry custard. And to drink it\u2019s sake--what else did you expect?<\/p>\n<p>In the end, there is only one conclusion: This red flag is a good omen.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/united-states\/new-york-en\/barnes-new-york-real-estate-agency\/\">Contact our real estate agency BARNES New York<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep going, nose to the sky, and you&#8217;ll find the red flag you&#8217;ve been looking for.
