Bento has a stall at Tampa Armature Works, but the owners also want to bring New York and Tokyo flavor to a new concept across the street. Kōsen's chef, Wei Chen is an alum of New York Japanese restaurant Masa, a three-Michelin star establishment. Last September, reps for Chen shared plans to do an 18-course reservation-only omakase, which includes 12 nigiri pieces ($250/person). Kosen’s private omakase room will be able to accommodate 10 people at the sushi counter, and a separate dining room can fit 25 people. A 10-course, $150 per person tasting menu will be available, too. Since its announcement back in July, Kosen is still set to open sometime in 2023.
