Until now, the only prix fixe at Williamsburg Japanese Zenkichi was a $48 nine-course omakase menu. But starting tonight and available for the rest of the month, the popular Japanese restaurant is offering a three-course $25 deal for those who show up before 7:30 PM. Starting with dishes like cold fresh tofu and maguru carpaccio, the meal continues with options like slow-simmered pork kakuni and jidori chicken and wraps up with desserts like frozen black sesame mousse and walnut chocolate pudding. And for those looking to drink? A two-course sake pairing is available for an additional $18. To see the full menu, click past the jump (718-388-8985; reserve online).
