In the West village, EN Japanese Brasserie takes carefully selected local and Japanese ingredients and elevates them to something far greater than what they would be alone. Tofu is made in-house and is prepared six times a night. It is especially delightful served freshly scooped, like ice cream. Fresh fish waits to be expertly sliced and presented, with inventive offerings like grilled wild Conger sea eel with sweet shoyu cucumber. Chef Abe Hiroki has created seasonal dishes that place the utmost importance on the ingredients. There is even a wide variety of vegan dishes, such as the grilled eggplant with kobucha broth.
