The DoorDash-Exclusive Omakase From Sushi Nakazawa Is Coming to New York

"It's true: We are coming to New York. We wanted to get a showcase location with a sophisticated feel where you can sit down for lunch or dinner as well as takeout. We don't fool around. We use the same products as we do at Nakazawa."

"Hi Dozo is a partnership with DoorDash and operates exclusively through the platform, offering nigiri sets, sashimi, and rolls packaged in color-coded, modular to-go boxes. Sets range from $29 to $54, featuring six, eight, or 12 pieces of nigiri, accompanied by edamame, futomaki, sashimi, wasabi, ginger, and Nakazawa's soy sauce blend."

"Nakazawa is a protege of Jiro Ono and the chef behind the West Village counter that earned four stars from New York Times critic Pete Wells, in 2013. He developed Hi Dozo as a way to extend his reach beyond the $190-plus omakase."

Hi Dozo, a delivery-only sushi service from chef Daisuke Nakazawa of the acclaimed Sushi Nakazawa, launched in Los Angeles in May 2024 through ghost kitchens and DoorDash. The brand offers affordable sushi sets ranging from $29 to $54, featuring nigiri, sashimi, rolls, and DIY hand roll kits, using the same high-quality products as the original restaurant. The upcoming New York brick-and-mortar location near Rockefeller Center will provide dine-in and takeout options with a sophisticated atmosphere. Hi Dozo represents Nakazawa's expansion strategy beyond his $190-plus omakase experience, making premium sushi accessible at lower price points while maintaining quality standards.
