ABOUT
After nearly two decades of honing his skills in Japan and New York City, chef Atsushi “ATS” Kono presents the craft of Japanese yakitori at his namesake restaurant, KONO. Guests will be treated to a special evening of smoke and fire as they watch chef Kono prepare a multi-course, kappo-style yakitori omakase ($165/pp) featuring organic Amish chicken and seasonal vegetables. Our dining room blends both Japanese and urban design aesthetics anchored by an intimate 14-seat chef's counter; we can also accommodate larger groups of four to six in our semi-private dining area. Yakitori ("yaki" meaning "to grill" and "tori" meaning "bird") has a storied history in Japan. At KONO, we intend to honor and respect tradition while breathing new life into New York City's exciting dining culture. We look forward to serving you. - Kono
