Tanuki Tavern: New York | China Grill Management

Tanuki Tavern

New York, NY

Tanuki Tavern, a Japanese gastropub and sushi bar in the heart of the Meatpacking District, takes its name from the mischievous and jolly creature of Japanese folklore while the atmosphere draws its inspiration from a Japanese izakaya. With its light wood interior, glowing paper lanterns and eclectic indie soundtrack, Tanuki Tavern’s casual and convivial vibe is great for a quick bite, leisurely meal or late night snack.

Cuisine

Unlike traditional izakayas--pubs serving Japanese (and often Western influenced) snacks, small plates and noodles--Tanuki Tavern also serves an extensive menu of sashimi, inventive and traditional sushi/rolls and riceless rolls as well as grilled/hibachi items that pair well with its wide array of signature cocktails, craft beers and hard to find sakes.
