What to get

Try the Chilled Corn Soup, it's incredibly "corny" in the best way, with crunchy rice and jelly bits. For something savory, the Grilled Heritage Pork is juicy and comes with pickled daikon and shredded leeks.food

What's the vibe

The dark room and big central bar evoke the feeling of being in Tokyo, offering an elegant izakaya-style experience. It's a modest, season-dependent spot on a lonely block downtown, with a vibe that can feel a little unapproachable at first.ambiance
