    This is probably my best culinary find in years. Everything on skewers was cooked to perfection. The buta kakuni melted in my mouth. This place has the largest selection of Japanese beers I've ever seen in or outside of Japan. We went for the nigori sake but will explore the beers next. The service was impeccable and the ambiance was very LES meets Tokyo.

    They did not know what "yakitori" is. The draft beer was served without any froth! Their draft beer selection is also very limited.

    A really good honest to goodness Izakaya. No frills but thats what an Izakaya isn't about.
