Hot Pot - Sukiyaki
Savor Japanese hot pot in NYC:
Sukiyaki and Shabu Shabu
A cozy authentic Japanese restaurant in Midtown East. Tucked just below street level on a charming East Side block, Jukai offers you the tempting dishes and intimate atmosphere of Japan's kakurega 隠れ家 or "speakeasy" dining spots.
As sultry jazz whispers in the background, you'll be seduced by chef Watanabe Yoshiyuki's subtle updates on the classics, from Japanese hot pots such as Sukiyaki and Shabu Shabu, Omakase sushi, Chirashi sushi, sashimi, beef tongue steak to homemade tofu. Also, Jukai offers unique dishes such as Salted Sea Urchin Sauce Pasta and Udon with clam broth soup or duck broth and yuzu soup. All served with the finest attention to every detail. You'll savor the umami in every bite.
Ask our sommelier to recommend a bottle from her impressive list of wine, sake and shochu selections.
Experience the inviting heart of Japan, just six steps down from the rush of New York City.
