GET OFF THE STRIP and ENJOY!
A new little izakaya that stands alone right across from District 1 and opened in early August 2015! The decor is inviting and comfortable from the minute you walk-in. The focus of the restaurant centers around the kitchen as the seating area encircles the cooks and the bar area.
The food emphasis is on small tapas type dishes ranging from classic Japanese yakitori skewers, grilled seafood...to a variety of carpaccio dishes. I would say that you have try a few things from the authentic Japanese charcoal grill. The grilled items have a smoky taste that is unlike anything else that you will find in general at most places. They use a specially imported Japanese charcoal that imparts great flavour to the food.
They have other typical items of sashimi, katsu's, and other ramen/donburi but you should really start with their specialties first and fill up toward the end should you need.
Don't forget to look at their alcohol menu as they have many different sakes and sochus that are bound to fit your taste.
Service is great and very attentive. My water glass was never empty and I was drinking constantly during this summer heat. Servers were also very available a moments notice when called upon.
So everyone should try this new izakaya and enjoy a little taste of Tokyo. And don't forget to try at least ONE of their yummy desserts!!!
On a scale of 8 (8 being the best), I give this one a "Hachi!"
