NYC Sukiyaki at Kimura 🥢

When it comes to warming up during chilly days in the city, Kimura in the East Village is the go-to spot for authentic Japanese hot pot and grilled skewers! 🍲✨ Highly recommend their Wagyu Sukiyaki and Yakitori platter — and don’t miss the grilled beef tongue, a must-order every time! Step inside, and you’re greeted with wooden decor, soft lighting, and a welcoming "Irasshaimase!" 🎎 The cozy atmosphere, filled with the comforting simmer of hot pots and the smoky aroma of charcoal grilling, instantly transports you to a Tokyo-style izakaya. 🍲 Wagyu Sukiyaki Cooked right at your table, the thinly sliced Wagyu melts in your mouth with its perfect marbling and rich, sweet-soy broth. Dip it in fresh egg yolk and pair with steamed rice — pure bliss! 😍 The pot also comes with tofu, carrots, mushrooms, and glass noodles, all soaking up the flavorful soup. Pro tip: Enjoy the leftover broth with rice at the end — it’s a soul-soothing finish! 🐮 Grilled Beef Tongue Thick-cut, tender, and grilled to perfection with a smoky finish. Topped with scallions and sesame, it’s savory, juicy, and utterly addictive! 🍢 Yakitori Platter Options like chicken with scallion and scallion-wrapped scallops are standouts! The chicken is juicy and crispy, while the scallops offer a taste of the sea. 🐟 Salmon skewers are also rich and buttery — like enjoying aburi sushi in skewer form! 🍤 Seafood Hot Pot Packed with shrimp, squid, tofu, and veggies, this bubbling pot is both hearty and comforting — perfect for sharing! 🍹 Yuzu Soda Refreshing, tangy, and slightly fizzy — the ideal drink to balance the richness of the meal. A must-try! 📍 Kimura 65 2nd Ave, East Village 💵 Around $50 per person ⏰ Reservations recommended! #NYCFood #NYCLife #Sukiyaki #KimuraNYC #EastVillageEats #NYUFood #YakitoriLover #JapaneseIzakaya #ComfortFood
