My fav Nippon brew, Asahi Super Dry, on tap…….plus a healthy variety of sakes and shochus for those that prefer moonshine!! Easy ordering using the table tablet. Super friendly service by the floor staff and the most skilled and experienced Japanese chefs working hard behind the bar. What more can you ask for??

    It was absolutely enjoyable! Their HAPPY HOUR had a wide choice of reasonably priced food and drinks on the menu from 4PM - 6PM. Our waiter was helpful when asked what were customer favorites and each dish was a winner. We will definitely be making this one of our go to restaurants in Kakaako.
