Heno Heno: A Taste of Japan in the Heart of New York
🌟 Steamed Eel Rice in a Bamboo Basket If you're a rice aficionado, Heno Heno's steamed eel rice is a must-try! The rice, infused with the subtle aroma of bamboo, is perfectly cooked with each grain standing out. The eel, sliced into easy-to-eat strips, is bone-free and pairs beautifully with delicate egg strands and aromatic shiso leaves, taking this dish to a whole new level of deliciousness! 🫶🏻 🌟 Japanese Braised Beef Tongue This dish is a hidden gem on the menu! 📝 The beef tongue, simmered in a mildly spicy miso broth, is tender yet retains a delightful chewiness in its sinewy parts. Accompanied by tofu, white radish, konjac, and mushrooms, each bite is a burst of flavor that you won't want to miss! 🌟 Yakitori Selection We indulged in a variety of yakitori: chicken thigh, gizzard, liver, fried chicken skin, meatballs, and tomato bacon. While the chicken skin was a tad overdone, the gizzard and liver were standout stars! Pro tip: opt for the tare sauce to avoid any charring mishaps. 🥲 🌟 Additional Delights Don't skip the omelette roll and sweet shrimp with scallops! The omelette roll is so tender, it's almost juicy, and absolutely scrumptious! 📍 Heno Heno 358 W 46th St, New York, NY 10036 #henoheno #NewYorkEats #IzakayaVibes
