<div class=\"tafc-container\">\n        <div class=\"intro-section\">\n            <p>New York does not lack for sushi. What it lacks is a way to get that food into your own apartment, on a\n            weeknight, without a reservation fought for six weeks in advance. That is the gap a private sushi chef\n            fills: the counter comes to you, the menu is agreed with you beforehand, and the whole thing happens at\n            your table instead of someone else&#8217;s.<\/p>\n            <p>We have served <strong>89 Japanese menus in New York City<\/strong>, and more than half of them\n            were dinners for two &#8212; this is a city where the private sushi chef is more often a date than a\n            party.

They are the median prices per guest our clients\n            actually paid across 409 Japanese-menu bookings completed in the United States over the last 24\n            months. The cost per guest goes down as the group grows, because the chef&#8217;s time, travel and setup are\n            shared across more people. Your final quote is personalized once your chef reviews your menu,\n            ingredients and location.<\/p>\n            <p class=\"section-intro\">In New York City specifically, the median across the 89 Japanese menus we\n            have served is <strong>$185 per guest<\/strong>.
