Take an Exclusive Peek Inside Nikkei

Nikkei, the most recent bar from Milkshake Concepts, is tentatively scheduled to open next Monday in Uptown. (It could, however, be later in the week.) Nikkei offers a variety of specialty cocktails, wine, beer, and sake. They’re also serving food. Chefs Nick Harrison and Ross Demers are behind the Japanese and Peruvian-influenced menu. Staples include koji-fried chicken with aji panca, miso, and salsa; chilled somen with uni, garlic chips, sesame, and tofu; and crispy pork belly. The space is adorned in dark woods and vivid accents. There’s also an AstroTurf-covered rooftop patio. Nikkei is located at 2404 Cedar Springs Rd., Ste. 400 and will be open for dinner Sunday through Wednesday from 6 p.m. to midnight, and Thursday through Saturday from 6 p.m. until “late.”
