Experience traditional Izakaya-style dining and drinking at this little spot located in the heart of the city. There's a focus on authenticity in every aspect of the restaurant; from the inviting all-wood entrance with Japanese signage to the delightfully rustic interiors. Seating is in the form of intimate, warmly-lit wooden booths seating just four. There's a traditional low seating area for groups as well. The dinner menu offers traditional yakitori fare (skewered cuts of chicken) available all week. You can also savor delicious soba specialties for lunch, available only on Fridays and Saturdays. A diverse choice of sake and shochu make up the spirit list.
