A family-style Japanese restaurant plans to open in the East Village.
Shinjidai Izakaya will be situated at 26 Saint Marks Pl., between 2nd and 3rd avenues, according to a business filing with Manhattan Community Board 3.
The intimate space will offer seating for up to 20 dine-in guests.
The menu will feature a range of Japanese dishes, including appetizers, soups, sashimi, yakitori skewers, fried dishes, meat entrees, rice bowls, noodles and hot pot. Standouts include beef short rib prepared yakiniku-style, an oyakodon chicken and egg rice bowl, and beef offal hot pot.
A lineup of cocktails and wines will accompany the Japanese fare.
For those with a sweet tooth, Shinjidai Izakaya will serve matcha and vanilla ice cream, warabi mochi and yuzu sorbet.
The team is currently working through the permitting and licensing process.
Once open, Shinjidai Izakaya will operate daily from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Stay tuned!
