About ついて

Established in 2012 in the historical Lower East Side Essex Street Market, Ni is a family-run Japanese deli focussed on offering nutritious vegetarian, vegan, and macrobiotic dishes.

Understanding that allergies are a real concern, we are committed to serving gluten-free and allergy-free Japanese foods that are not only delicious and hearty, but also healthy. The humble bento box is Ni’s staple for our rotating selection of locally sourced, traditionally-prepared seasonal ingredients. Ni Deli also offers products such as matcha green teas, tonics, dried foods and the occasional vintage craft object from Japan.

We’re now in the new Essex Market, sharing our passion for cooking and knowledge in the healing power of ingredients through our foods.
