Contemporary Japanese Cocktail Bar And Restaurant Offers A Memorable Experience

 NR is where East meets West, where the past fuses with the present. Come for some delicious bites and noodles.

Located in Manhattan's UES, NR is a contemporary twist on restaurants that were found in traditional Japanese port towns during the Meiji Period, when Japan first became open to the rest of the world after nearly two centuries of seclusion. NR specializes in ramen - noodles of Chinese origin, and cocktails - first brought to Japanese ports by western countries.

Carpaccio

The refreshing duo of scallop and fluke carpaccio is a match made in heaven. Each piece is topped with dill, onion, and peppercorn in absolutely mouthwatering house dashi and vinegar sauce. The essence of truffle oil permeates throughout the dish.

Deviled Egg + Egg + Egg

You have never seen deviled eggs like this one before. The eggs are seasoned in dashi, wasabi, and karashi (Japanese mustard), and house mayo for an explosion of flavors. They are then topped with a generous portion of creamy sea urchin, caviar, and tosa vinegar jelly. The shiso garnish tops off this perfect bite.

Miso Glazed Eggplant

A big piece of Japanese eggplant is deep-fried and topped with savory house miso, and garnished with pomegranate, mint, dill, and citrus to create a balance of unique flavors.

Sea Urchin + Salmon Caviar Soupless Ramen

This fan-favorite, soupless ramen is tossed in premium dashi and house sea urchin paste, and topped with colorful toppings like sea urchin, salmon caviar, shiso, and seaweed. While the noodles were unfortunately a bit on the dry side and the amount of uni was lacking, the combination of all these flavors were like explosion in the mouth.

Summer Cold Ramen

Perfect for a hot summer day, the Summer Cold Ramen includes a broth of clam, chicken, yuzu, salt, and white soy sauce and topped with deep fried anago eel, lime, grated Japanese daikon radish, purple onion, yuzu pepper, and shiso.
