Best Japanese Izakaya in NJ

But honestly, as I’m sure you’ve heard before, there’s not really a big Japanese population in Jersey so sadly the sushi/Izakaya front is lacking…

Your best bet is to head to the Fort Lee/Palisades Park area, where you’ll find
Raku Izakaya and Izakaya Hontei (which is more Jap-Korean fusion).

Make sure to check out Mitsuwa Marketplace in Edgewater for a wide range of authentic Japanese cuisine options.
