An East Village Japanese wine bar that feels like a Tokyo backstreet got quietly teleported downtown. It’s all clean lines, low light, and a tightly edited list of Japanese bottles you won’t pretend to recognize. But will absolutely pretend you discovered. The crowd leans date-night-cool, the small plates are precise without being precious, and the whole room hums at that perfect, conspiratorial volume. Come curious, leave fluent in at least one new grape.
Shrimp katsu sandwich with a Japanese twist. Pairs well with the natural wine list.
Crispy Japanese fried chicken served as a small plate alongside natural wines.
Fluffy Japanese rice omelette with ketchup-flavored fried rice
