Description
The interior is styled after Showa Era under-the-bridge izakayas, decorated with old records and trinkets. The kitchen serves everything from yakitori to sushi, with menu highlights like beef tongue, kara age, and the hagi dog, though the freshness of the sashimi can vary by the day. Serving heavy pours of sake and shochu, the bar is a convenient stop for a quick meal right across the street from Broadway theaters.
