Acre

Past the front counter's display of pottery and incense, the kitchen focuses on hearty dishes prepared using Japanese fermentation and enzymology. While you can grab pastries and drinks quickly, hot plates like the pork katsu bento are made to order, meaning food can take a moment to arrive when the room is busy. Diners can head to the back tables or the outdoor garden seating. Portions lean toward the smaller side, but dishes are flavor-forward and well-seasoned.
