Had to get a proper Izakaya spot in during my trip to Calgary so it was very important to pick the right one and I'm glad I picked the right place! It's small and cozy and the decor had a nice Japanese fusion twist to it. The owner is very welcoming and sat us to our seats while offering his opinions on what he recommends which is nice to see. I started off with a Park Hyatt in the Mist while my girlfriend ordered a Kiiro. As we wanted to try a little bit of everything, we had some nigiri (sawara and hira aji), chicken skin chips, scallop isoyaki, saba kama and some yakitori (shiitake, beef tongue, chicken ass and chicken oyster). You can't go wrong with any of the stuff we ordered as they were all great. I can see why this place was voted top 50 places in Canada and I would definitely come back! Hopefully we will see chef in Vancouver for one of his collaborations in the near future :)
