Description
The space pairs cozy seating and living decor with touches reminiscent of a gentleman's closet, including a bathroom hidden behind a secret bookcase doorway. Dining here involves small, tactile rituals: the sushi rice is pre-seasoned with soy, and when only a few bites of fish remain, you ring a table bell to request the hot broth. The menu also features sake, a valued weekend brunch, and desserts like hojicha panna cotta.
