NYC Project Highlights
Inside NYC Project | Hanabusa Master Craftsman Eiji Tsuji Interview
Summary
We have completed the installation of a twin omakase counter made from Hinoki Japanese Cypress in Manhattan, NYC. Each counter, handcrafted from a single Hinoki log, measures 20 feet long and showcases the warmth and elegance of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. This project represents a perfect harmony between Japan's natural materials and New York's modern dining culture.
This Hinoki Japanese Cypress (also known as Japanese Cypress Hinoki) installation brings wood from Japan into an omakase restaurant in Manhattan, New York. The twin counters highlight authentic Japanese craftsmanship and the timeless quality of hinoki cypress Japan.
Creating an Authentic Omakase Space with Hinoki Japanese Cypress Counters

We have completed the installation of OMAKASE Hinoki countertops in Manhattan, NYC, the economic center of the country. It's true that we were excited to install in such a stunning location with a panoramic view of Central Park.
For these stunning locations, the OMAKASE YUGIN features two parallel twin counters made from a single slab of wood from the Yoshino region of Japan, measuring 20 feet in length, 18 inches in width, and 4 inches in thickness.
These two countertops are made from the finest lumber obtained from a single log.
The photo shows Chef Yugin and I immediately after installation. Within the limited time, we completed the installation perfectly, protected the counter, and left Manhattan.
The photos below are from just before the grand opening. Thank you to Chef Yugin for sharing them with us.
