Authentic, daring, and utterly transportive—Kansha brings a bold new energy to the Upper East Side with an omakase journey that blends Japanese precision with Peruvian soul. Led by Michelin-trained Chef Jorge Dionicio, an Edomae master and World Sushi Cup finalist, this hidden gem is reshaping what uptown sushi can be.
Grab your $199 pulse (a $330 value) for a 16 Course Omakase Dinner For Two that includes Two 16 Course Omakase Dinners, complete with 32 Pieces of Nigiri (16 pieces per person), and 2 Cocktails, Beers, or Freshers, or 1 Bottle of Sake.
Chef Jorge’s pedigree includes top-tier kitchens like Michelin-starred Morimoto and Azabu, and Michelin Guide recommended Kaito alongside foundational training in Tokyo. But it's his Peruvian roots that infuse Kansha with something truly singular—think seasonal fish flown in weekly from Japan, finished with vibrant ají amarillo or nestled into citrus-bright tiradito.
Watch as Chef Jorge transforms the counter—crafted from a 100-year-old hinoki tree—into a stage, where each of the 32 pieces of nigiri is an act of elegance, innovation, and story. With a pairing of cocktails, crisp Japanese beers, or a bottle of sake, every bite becomes part of a narrative you won’t want to end.
From buttery cuts of Chutoro and Kinmedai to inventive takes that nod to Nikkei tradition, Kansha’s omakase is a feast that balances heritage, technique, and heart. Upstairs, beneath warm light and vibrant Peruvian textiles, you’ll find a dinner that’s less a meal—and more a memory in the making.
At Kansha, culinary artistry meets soulful innovation for a Nikkei omakase unlike any other. This Upper East Side sanctuary offers a Manhattan take on high-end Japanese dining, elevated with bold Peruvian flair. Wrapped in warm woods and vivid textiles, the intimate dining room exudes quiet luxury—where the hum of conversation and the glow from the hinoki counter invite you to slow down, savor deeply, and indulge beautifully.
Michelin-trained Chef Jorge, an Edomae sushi chef, has worked at top Michelin-starred restaurants and trained in Tokyo, ranking seventh in the World Sushi Cup. Blending Japanese precision with Peruvian flavors, he curates a seasonal omakase with the finest ingredients from Japan flown in directly every week to maximize seasonality and freshness.
Chef Jorge approaches his craft with deep reverence for tradition and a creative edge, drawing on his Peruvian roots and Tokyo training to shape each bite with purpose. With a sharp eye for quality, he selects only the most exceptional cuts, letting the purity of each ingredient shine. His omakase is a reflection of instinct, experience, and a drive to push boundaries—one piece at a time.
At Kansha, the experience is a refined, focused journey through 32 flawless offerings of nigiri—each one crafted with intention, precision, and imagination. Every serving is a testament to skill, heritage, and heart. Each mouthful is more than a meal—it’s a quiet expression of craft, culture, and deep gratitude.
With each taste, your senses are balanced by a curated selection of wines, sake, or refreshing beers, ensuring the perfect complement to every piece. Every moment at Kansha transports you to a world where tradition and creativity meet, leaving you with an unforgettable experience.
