October 1, 2020, 5:35.23 pm ET
Nami Nori - the Japanese restaurant in the West Village specializing in open temaki hand rolls from partners Taka Sakaeda, Jihan Lee and Lisa Limb - is launching a limited-time, chef collaboration temaki series in celebration of their one-year anniversary this October, as well as their catering arm, Nami Nori at Home.
The team met while working under chef Masa Takayama, the only three-star Michelin sushi chef in the country, and opened Nami Nori in October 2019. The restaurant has received two stars from The New York Times, and was highlighted as one of Robb Report's "10 Best New Restaurants in America" and Bloomberg's "Best Restaurant Dishes of 2019.” Alongside their signature open temaki, Nami Nori offers Japanese-inspired starters and snacks and a selection of sake, beer, wine and cocktails.
