About

Ningen Restaurant NNGN (人間レストラン NNGN, pronounced "En-En-Jee-En") is a neo-izakaya and gallery bar on Sakura-dori (桜通り) in Shinjuku Kabukicho (新宿歌舞伎町), about a 5-minute walk from the east exit of JR Shinjuku Station (新宿駅). Its concept is "a comfortable space made by people for people." The interior is styled as a "drinkable gallery" (飲めるギャラリー), with picture rails running along the white walls. There is also a setup for projecting video on the wall of the next building, and the combination of art and dining makes this a uniquely styled place in Shinjuku.

— Drinkable gallery: a neo-izakaya in Shinjuku

The concept is "a comfortable space made by people for people." The interior is styled as a "drinkable gallery" (飲めるギャラリー), with picture rails on the white walls, so guests can eat and drink while looking at art. There is also a setup for projecting video on the wall of the next building, so at night guests can enjoy food and drinks together with moving images. Signature dishes include handmade gyoza with crispy skin, a tsukune (つくね, ground meatball) made with a tofu base and stuffed with cheese, and the trendy "super-thin Mont Blanc" (極薄モンブラン) piped in very thin strands. Terrace seating is available, and Wi-Fi is provided for light work. The 18+ sign at the entrance gives a hidden-bar feeling. With its location 5 minutes from Shinjuku Station east exit on Kabukicho's Sakura-dori (桜通り), it draws guests who enjoy art and nightlife.

“Shinjuku | Gentle Vegan Meals Themed on Diversity — "Ningen Restaurant"”

"Ningen Restaurant" is a shop with the concept of respecting diversity and supporting each other. The vegan and vegetarian menu is rich, and after much hesitation I ordered the "today's vegan plate." Bibimbap-style rice with a sesame-scented vegetable side, stir-fried abura-age, and Korean-style nori with spicy miso. Each had gentle flavors that warmed the heart the more I ate. The interior is lively and bright — easy to enter alone or with friends. A shop to drop by on a day you want to feel comforted.
