Located in the heart of NYC’s West Village, EN Japanese Brasserie is an authentic Japanese restaurant with a modern yet relaxed style of dining centered around small plates. From an assortment of sashimi and sushi rolls to three signature EN Kaiseki tasting menus, the restaurant offers flavorful dishes to pair with its extensive list of over 70 sakes, 30 shochus, 90 Japanese whiskies, as well as carefully-crafted signature cocktails and wines. For those seeking a unique late night experience, enjoy EN's curated collection of rare records through weekly vinyl sessions at the Music Bar, inspired by the Japanese concept of a traditional music room, for an immersive audio experience.
MUSIC BAR AT EN
With a strong passion for music, EN’s Founder Reika Alexander was inspired by her grandfather who used to operate a music bar in Tokyo and provided musical entertainment before people had TV or radios. She sought to bring this concept of a music bar to her own restaurant by creating a dedicated listening space to offer evening vinyl sessions and impeccably curated programming with a guest music selector every Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00PM - 2:00 until late.

The perfect synergy between cuisine and artistic expression… at the core of kaiseki is the Japanese principle of shun.. local, seasonal ingredients prepared and presented at their peak of flavor and freshness! A traditional multi- course menu that has become the pinnacle of japanese haute cuisine.
