Opened in August 2018 by long time friends, Kuni and Robert, Bushniwa is a Japanese brasserie located in the vibrant neighborhood of Bushwick, Brooklyn. Chef Kuni is the inspiration behind the dishes at Bushniwa. For close to a decade, he apprenticed in the once legendary Tokyo Tsukiji and Ueno Fish Market, honing his skills from old masters and prominent sushi chefs. Arriving in the United States in the 90’s, he worked alongside the master sushi chef at Hatsuhanna and later became the executive chef at LAN and KAI. Dramatic high ceilings with oversized skylights accentuate the rich tones of industrial brick walls and wood furnishings. In addition to the spacious dining room, in the rear, is an intimate space ideal for private events. An extensive list of artisanal sake, wine, craft beer and full bar complements the dining experience. “We want our guests to come, relax and enjoy great food prepared in the traditional methods of Japanese cooking. We hope to see you soon.” - Kuni & Robert
