About
Japanese izakaya serving small plates, sashimi & many sakes at a chef's bar in a modern, snug space.
A New York izakaya focused on sake and the Japanese tavern food best consumed alongside it — small plates, grilled skewers, and the wider vocabulary of Japanese drinking culture. A destination for those who want the full izakaya experience in a city that has developed a serious and knowledgeable Japanese restaurant culture and is beginning to produce the kind of sake program that the format requires.
