Attack on Titan: 5 New Asian Restaurants

There is nothing more eternal in this world than the fashion for Asian cuisine. Some anticipate gastrotrends a few years in advance, while others follow the win-win path and open new locations with everyone’s favorite sashimi, rolls and sushi.

We’ve rounded up new restaurants with Asian cuisine that you must visit.

university

Uni is a new Japanese restaurant opened in Malaya Bronnaya at the beginning of March. Two brands of chefs are responsible for gastronomy at once – Leonid Ivanov (Lou Lou, Yug, Good Girl) and Oleg Shin (B12). The main place on the menu is devoted to dishes from sea urchin, which have become the signature of chefs to Japanese classics.

The restaurant also serves authentic dishes such as the Japanese Chawan Mushi omelette with crab and red caviar or the traditional dim sum and wonton.

June

A Japanese restaurant with the succinct name Jun opened on Bolshaya Nikitskaya in December last year. Its concept is built on the omakase philosophy – special trust in the chef and team. The entire menu is based on extremely fresh seafood and rice cooked to a unique recipe. You should come here not for standard sushi and other popular Asian dishes, but for new gastronomic experiences.

The menu includes traditional miso soup, tataki salad and toro and sturgeon caviar, salmon, scallops and yuzu kosho, as well as a variety of sushi and many other seafood items.

Address: St. Bolshaya Nikitskaya, 24/1, building 6

“B12”

Restaurant “B12” brought together the best of Korean, Japanese, Chinese and other Asian cuisines with the addition of their own experience. The number 12 in the title contains both a reference to the restaurant’s location and a metaphor for nature’s cycle – 12 months.

Chef Oleg Shin, known for his work in Cutfish, Buba by Sumosan and Tokyo Sushi, is responsible for the menu. The main idea of ​​​​the menu is the versatility and variability of dishes of Asian and Japanese cuisines. Therefore, all positions in the sushi and sashimi section are exclusively copyrighted. From the main menu, we recommend you to try the traditional Japanese grilled robatta dishes. For example, octopus, chimichurri or lamb on the bone.
