JUGEMU - Tokyo is Closer Than You Think : Authentic Japanese Restaurant in Cresskill, NJ

Tokyo is Closer Than You Think

Cresskill newcomer Jugemu, serving authentic Japanese cuisine and fresh fish delivered daily directly from Japan’s famed Tsujiki market with meticulous service, has added a few new highlights to its offerings.

In addition to carefully crafted Japanese dishes and sushi, curated selection of beverages (including sake and craft beer from The Other Half Brewery in Brooklyn) and Chef Yoshii’s famous omakase, the restaurant is also offering a taste of Japanese culture and fun with a new family-friendly event series.

There are two upcoming experiences to indulge in 🍣
