Japanese Takeout Pairs Curry and Katsu With Grocery Shopping
Pick up a meal at Shinbashi 72, then browse Asian pantry goods at its attached shop on West 72nd Street.
🍛 A Counter With Pantry Perks
At 218 West 72nd Street in Manhattan, Shinbashi 72 brings together a Japanese food counter and an Asian grocery in one compact stop. Start with the curry for a kick of heat, or choose pork katsu with a tender center and crisp coating that holds up when packed to go. Rice sits at the heart of the menu, alongside noodle dishes, eel, takoyaki and teriyaki.
The space has limited seating, with takeout central to its offer. Right alongside the counter, an attached Asian grocery store stocks pantry goods for your kitchen, letting you shop for ingredients on the same stop as a prepared meal.
The weekly schedule runs Tuesday to Saturday from half past eleven AM to half past nine PM. Sunday and Monday are closed, leaving five days to plan a lunch or dinner around the counter and grocery.
