Putting to work his experience studying authentic Japanese cuisine, the chef opened this restaurant as an izakaya where people will drop in as part of their daily lives. A warm and gentle light spreads through the restaurant and into the street through wood-framed windows. Conceived to be enjoyed casually, the flavours in the simple fare are deep and complex. In the unassuming interior, one dish follows another, each prepared with painstaking attention to detail. Maybe this is the meaning of luxury within the everyday.
