Get ready for a truly special event! We are thrilled to invite you to join us for a celebratory event on November 3, 2025, as we mark an incredible 62 years of bringing authentic Japanese cuisine to the heart of New York City.

This isn't just an anniversary; it's a vibrant celebration of our rich history, our beloved founders, and the future of Japanese culinary artistry.

Join us for a fun-filled evening where we will:

•Serve Nippon's cuisine and drinks, featuring Kato Sake Works - a craft sake brewery located in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.

•Commemorate the enduring legacy and remarkable achievements of our founders, Mr. & Mrs. Kuraoka, whose vision established Nippon as a pioneer in NYC's Japanese dining scene.

•Hear from Yasuhiro Makoshi, our former General Manager and renowned marathon runner, as he shares insights into Nippon's journey, his personal story of perseverance, and introduces his delightful new memoir, "Torafugu to Marathon no New York Kuimonogatari"
*The author's books is available for an additional $10

•Connect with you, our cherished customers and supporters, who have been the key players in our journey for over six decades.


This event is our way of honoring that journey and sharing our gratitude with you.

Expect an evening filled with delicious food, delightful company, and memorable moments as we raise a toast to the past, present, and future of Restaurant Nippon. 

Please save the date, we can't wait to celebrate with you!
