Served the way we mean it.

No soy sauce needed. Each piece of nigiri is pre-dressed with yakumi, a condiment designed to bring out the natural taste of the fish.

Cocktails, sake, and a slow pour.

All cocktails are crafted in-house using fresh juice, scratch-made syrups, and carefully sourced spirits and liqueurs. The sake list runs from crisp and mineral to cloudy nigori and limited daiginjo, with four flights to find your way in.
