Zakkushi

The skewers are the whole point: over 50 yakitori options grilled over Bincho charcoal, from chicken heart and gizzards to duck breast and pork-wrapped quail eggs. Start with the Zakkushi Set of five skewers, then add the Negima and the pork-wrapped garlic-stem maki that regulars single out as favorites.

Beyond yakitori there are udon and rice dishes like the Mentai Carbonara Udon, chef's-choice oden, tofu salads, and bites like wagyu beef tataki and ankimo. The bar pours Japanese beer, sake, and cocktails, and dessert runs to matcha ice cream sandwiches.

Yes, the lively izakaya room is built for sharing small plates across the table, and the per-skewer pricing lets a big group taste widely. It gets very busy, so booking ahead is the safe move for weekends.

Reservations are strongly recommended, especially on weekends, when the small room fills up and walk-ins can face long waits. You can book directly through the restaurant's website or the reservation widget on its listings.
