A beautifully designed Japanese izakaya in a converted Mission warehouse, serving handcrafted yakitori, seasonal small plates, and excellent sake in an atmosphere that feels genuinely transported from Tokyo. The chicken skewers, dashimaki tamago, and cold tofu are highlights. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially on weekends.
