"Nikkei is the new Creole izakaya inside the Broadside from the Honns, the chefs and owners behind Carmo, and chef Wataru Saeki, who led the raw bar at Carmo for 10 years. It’s inspired by the cuisine of Japanese immigrants who “took their culture around the world” and in turn created new ones, specifically in countries like Peru and Brazil (Nikkei is the word for the descendants of Japanese immigrants living around the world). The menu is a mix of traditional Japanese dishes like chashu pork and karaage, as well as Japanese diaspora dishes like kakiage." - Clair Lorell
