Description
Operating in a space that feels like a baking studio on the border of Soho and Hudson Square, the daytime cafe offers a quiet environment for lunch bowls and salads. The signature dessert is the dacquoise, featuring a chewy sakekasu flavor with a light rice taste, though portions tend to be small and pricey. At night, the venue becomes a conversational spot where guests can share Japanese small plates and learn about the sake and shochu crafting process.
